In the investigation into a rape on Erasmusweg in The Hague on January 30, a suspect was arrested last month. The man was extradited to the Netherlands this week.
On January 30, around 1:00 AM, the victim encountered the suspect on the street. The rape occurred in a vestibule on Erasmusweg. Police investigations did not lead to the identity of the suspect, therefore images of him were shown on May 13 in the investigative programs Team West and Opsporing Verzocht. This led to two tips regarding his identity.
The 36-year-old suspect without a fixed residence in the Netherlands fled after the broadcast, but was arrested on May 15 at Cologne airport. Last Wednesday, June 4, he was extradited to the Netherlands by the German authorities. The examining magistrate has since extended his pre-trial detention by 14 days.
