Police arrest three men who detained 33-year-old man in Wijchen's home

The police have arrested three men who held a man overnight in a house in Wijchen. Paramedics checked the victim but it is not clear how he is doing. The suspects are a 33-year-old man from Turnhout, a 34-year-old man from Wijchen, and a 31-year-old man of no fixed address. The police are investigating the case.

Het gaat om een 33-jarige man uit Turnhout, een 34-jarige man uit Wijchen en een 31-jarige man zonder vaste woon-of verblijfplaats. Dit incident lijkt geen verband te hebben met de overleden persoon die afgelopen vrijdag werd aangetroffen in een andere woning aan de Hoogmeer. ^AC https://t.co/DBpUaUrvsd

According to Nu.nl, the man was detained on the night from Saturday to Sunday. However, a police spokesperson could not say how long the 33-year-old had been detained.

The police are currently searching the house on the Hoogmeer. On Friday, a deceased man was found in another apartment in this street, but the two cases do not appear to be connected, the police reported.
