Sixth arrest made in Zaandam murder witnessed by kids

The police arrested another two suspects this week on suspicion of involvement in the assassination of Amsterdam criminal Lucas Boom. The suspects are two men from Amsterdam, aged 26 and 33, and will be arraigned on Friday, the Telegraaf reports. Lucas Boom was gunned down in a residential neighborhood in Zaandam on June 9th while dozens of primary school children played nearby. He was a suspect in a number of cases and also believed to be a confidant of Willem Holleeder. The police arrested four suspects in connection with this case last month. Two of them had their custody extended by 90 days on Thursday.
