Victims in Arnhem flat explosion identified

The police identified both men who were killed in an explosion in an apartment in Arnhem earlier this week. They were the 33-year-old resident of the apartment on Daphnestraat and a 31-year-old man from Belgium, ANP reports.

The identity of the third victim, who was seriously injured in the explosion and subsequent fire, is still unclear.

The police believe that the explosion was drug-related.

Residents of the apartment building recently started complaining about problems from the involved apartment and possible drug-related crime, according to the news wire.
