A 38-year-old man was found dead in his apartment in the De Statendam residential tower on the Botersloot, in the centre of Rotterdam, on the afternoon of Wednesday 19 August 2026. An acquaintance had raised the alarm at about 2.30pm after being unable to reach him. Police treated the death as a crime and opened a large-scale investigation with about twenty officers, searching the tower and its surroundings and canvassing neighbours. The investigation is focused on the night of Monday 17 to Tuesday 18 August: officers appealed for private camera footage recorded between 11pm on 17 August and 3am on 18 August. Three people from Rotterdam — a 33-year-old man and two women aged 27 and 40 — were arrested overnight on suspicion of involvement in the death. According to reports the national broadcaster described as not yet confirmed, they were detained after their car was boxed in by police. How investigators identified them has not been made public, and no charges had been reported at the time of the cited coverage.
