The police arrested a 21-year-old man in Kaatsheuvel on Saturday after finding a deceased woman in a swimming pool in the garden of her home. “There are some suspicious circumstances,” the police wrote on X.
The woman was found by a housemate, a police spokesperson told NU.nl. The man who was arrested is not a resident of the house.
The police cannot confirm that the woman was found in a swimming pool in the garden. “It is definitely something with water in the garden,” he does say.
Around a quarter to seven, the police received a report of the incident. According to Omroep Brabant, two ambulances and a trauma helicopter arrived at the scene, but resuscitation attempts were unsuccessful. Residents told the medium that they had heard the woman singing loudly in the garden between 5:00 and 6:00 AM.
According to the police, several people were present in the house. One person was taken to the police station as a witness to make a statement.
The police are investigating the case. “It can go in any direction,” the police spokesperson said.
