Team West and social media
Images of the two suspects have been shown in the Team West investigation program and via social media. Because the two boys are most likely underage, their faces have now been made unrecognizable. The public prosecutor gives them the opportunity to report to the police. If they do not do this, the images will be shown clearly in the next broadcast. After this call, one of the suspects came forward. This 17-year-old boy is still in custody and is being heard.
