Identity of man on fire in woods determined

The police have identified the body found burning in the woods on Molenwijsewg in Boxtel last week as a 46 year old man from Esch. On Monday the police distributed two pictures of the man to help find his identity. Further investigation into incoming tips led to his identity on Tuesday. Last night the police started an extensive investigation at the victim's home. Further investigation should shed more light on the victim's back ground and death. Given the circumstances under which the body was found, the police assumes that the victim's death was crime related. Thus far no arrests have been made in this case.
