New witnesses report in Mallorca case | Inland

“Last week’s call has been very meaningful,” said the spokesman. A week earlier, Opsporing Verzocht also paid attention to the case. Then the father of Carlo Heuvelman (27), who died after the abuse, told his story on behalf of the family. He hoped that witnesses who had not yet come forward would overcome their trepidation.

The broadcast also showed blurred images of two male and two female witnesses, whom the police are looking for because they may have important information about the nightlife in the resort of El Arenal. The police have now been able to speak to the two male witnesses. “That was very important to us,” said the police.

The police are still looking for the women, who would have taken care of the seriously injured Heuvelman. “That could also mean that they are not from the Netherlands, for example. We are very happy to talk to anyone who knows anything about them.”

On the morning of July 14, there were multiple acts of violence in the town of El Arenal on the Spanish island. Several people were injured in a fight at a cafe. In a second incident on the boulevard, Heuvelman was so badly treated that he died a few days later. The police have arrested a total of eight suspects in the case, five of whom are still in custody. All five of them are 18 and 19 years old and come from Hilversum.
