35-year-old arrested for suspicious death in Schagen; one arrest made in Rijswijk death

Two suspects were arrested for two separate suspicious deaths in Rijswijk and Schagen on Monday. A body was found at 11:30 p.m. in a home on the Haagweg in Rijswijk, Zuid-Holland on Monday night. A suspect in the same street was arrested later that evening. Nothing has been shared about the suspect’s identity in this case.

This came a day after a body was found in Schagen, Noord-Holland. Police were called to a home on the Scholeksterlaan in Schagen at around noon on Sunday afternoon. The caller stated that a man had become unwell.

Emergency services tried to resuscitate the man at the scene, but he passed away. This led to the police starting an investigation into the death and arresting a 35-year-old man from Schagen.

The suspect is under restrictions, which means that he is only allowed to have contact with his lawyer. His role in the death is being investigated, the police said on Monday.
