“We are awaiting further confirmation from police in the Netherlands’ investigation as it is a criminal offence.” A spokesman for the Netherlands Public Prosecution Service told Nottinghamshire Live: “A 22-year- old man from Belgium was arrested on 1st of June on suspicion of manslaughter.
“He is placed in detention and will appear in the court of Amsterdam on 26th of August. The investigation is not complete. The case is therefore not yet being substantively tried. A date for the substantive trial is not yet set.”
