One arrested in Tilburg woman's death

The police arrested a 19 year old suspect in his home in Tilburg on Monday morning. He is being held on suspicion of involvement in the death of the woman whose body was found in an apartment on Bartokstraat on Sunday. The police found the woman's body in the apartment on Sunday afternoon after receiving a report. The report and circumstances in which she was found suggest that a violent crime has been committed. The police believe that the victim is the 68 year old resident of the apartment, but this has not yet been confirmed. The police immediately did a extensive trace evidence investigation in the flat as well as an area investigation. This led them to the 19 year old suspect. His involvement in the crime is being investigated. The police are searching his home under the direction of the magistrate.
