A 35-year-old Dutch man from Enschede was found dead in a hotel room in Rees, in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, at midday on Sunday 26 July 2026. He had checked into the hotel the previous day and did not leave his room on time; hotel staff found him lifeless inside. The circumstances of the discovery led police to suspect a violent crime, and the Kleve public prosecutor's office together with the Krefeld and Kleve police opened an investigation and set up a murder commission. The victim had a muscle disease, used a wheelchair and depended on help for many daily activities. His wallet and his car were missing. A 42-year-old Dutch man was provisionally arrested near his home in the Netherlands during the night of Tuesday 28 July 2026; the victim's car was recovered at his address. On the application of the Kleve public prosecutor's office, a judge at Kleve district court issued an arrest warrant for murder in conjunction with robbery resulting in death, and a European arrest warrant was issued on that basis. Extradition proceedings are under way.
