The three suspects arrested on Saturday night in connection with the major fire in Arnhem will be presented to the examining magistrate on Wednesday, March 12. The Public Prosecution Service will request that the 57-year-old and the 30-year-old man from Arnhem and the 41-year-old man without a fixed residence be detained for 14 days. The examining magistrate will then make a decision on this.
The three men are suspected of arson. So far, the investigation has not provided any indications that there was a targeted attack on the shop that was first affected by the fire.
No further information can be given about the motive and how the fire was started. This could harm the ongoing investigation.
