Second suspect arrested in investigation into death of Johan van Boxtel

Some time ago, the police received new information in the investigation into the murder of the then 32-year-old Van Boxtel. The Eindhove resident was shot dead on Sunday, May 7, 2017 on Memlincstraat. The investigation was revived and led to the arrest of a first suspect on Monday, September 11.

Second suspect

The images of the murder showed that at least two people were probably involved. After the first arrest, the Large-Scale Investigation Team (TGO) conducted intensive further investigation. This ultimately led to the arrest of the second suspect. This concerns a 42-year-old man from Eindhoven. He is suspected of possible involvement in the case.

At the time of his arrest, he was being held in the PI in Grave in connection with another investigation.
