In the Netherlands, where the focus of the investigation is now, a detective team with twenty police officers is working on the case. De K. is in jail for unlawful deprivation of liberty and involvement in the death of the four-year-old boy. The investigation must determine where De K. and Dean have been in the Netherlands and where the victim was killed.
Autopsy
The results of the autopsy on the body, which can better estimate the time of death, may also help with this. The inquest was to take place on Wednesday. De K. is being interrogated further in the Netherlands and he may appear before the examining magistrate on Thursday, who will decide whether he will remain in prison.

The Belgian investigating judge in Dendermonde has arrested De K.’s girlfriend. After the interrogation, the investigating judge has decided to detain and charge RW, her lawyer said in a short press release.
The Dutch RW was arrested in the night from Monday to Tuesday during a house search in Sint-Gillis-Waas, in the building where she lived with Dave De K..
No comment
Both the Dutch and Belgian agents will not comment on Tuesday. The coordination meeting on Wednesday should provide more clarity about the investigation in Belgium and the Netherlands,
but it is still too early to decide where De K. will be tried. The investigation will take even longer and in the interest of this, no substantive news about the investigation will be released for the time being, the Dutch police said.
