Overview
- Police detained a 50-year-old woman from Emmen on Tuesday on suspicion of involvement in the 2017 killing of Ralf Meinema.
- The woman is being held under full restriction, which allows contact only with her lawyer.
- Investigators say more people were likely involved and carried out a house search at a caravan camp in Emmen.
- RTV Drenthe reports, citing unnamed sources, that the woman is the partner of previously acquitted suspect Hans O., a detail not confirmed by police.
- Meinema, 31, was found in March 2017 in the trunk of his car at the Stieltjeskanaal near Coevorden after fatal blunt-force head trauma, and his mother said the arrest gives her hope for a breakthrough.
