One of them, B.F. supposedly solicited the murder, gave instructions and paid a sum of 400,000 Antillean Guilders, according to the OM. The search for the suspects continued day and night, and will not cease until the case is solved, stated the prosecutor. The lawsuit is executed under heavy security, including officers wearing balaclavas and body armor in the courtroom. The substantive proceedings begin on May 21 in Willemstad.
