Court Advances Pannerden Killing Case as Tilburg Suspect Is Named and Meteren Rail Service Restarts

Authorities now focus on procedure, with psychiatric evaluations pending and continued detention ordered.

Overview

  • In Arnhem, judges held a regiezitting in the Pannerden homicide, denied release for an adult suspect and kept both adult defendants in custody while the minor’s case proceeds behind closed doors.
  • The defense for the 27-year-old Mustafa requested testimony from a Duiven community officer about prior threats allegedly made by the victim, as the court mapped further evidence and witness steps toward a 2026 hearing.
  • Tilburg police publicly identified Badr Wong Tham Soeng as the suspected Corellistraat shooter, warned he may be armed, and arrested two injured men for suspected involvement after they reported to a hospital.
  • Tilburg’s mayor ordered a two-week closure of a Corellistraat house to restore public order and will meet residents, while Rotterdam police in the IJsselmonde killing seek witnesses after five earlier arrestees were released but remain suspects.
  • Rail traffic between Geldermalsen and Den Bosch resumed at 00:30 after the Meteren crash repairs, with the safety board ending its probe and ProRail continuing its own investigation as it assesses accountability and costs.
