Overview
- On 1 September a group of about thirty masked, armed men attacked the farmhouse linked to suspected drug figure Jan G., and a 51‑year‑old security guard known as Berry was shot dead while two police officers were seriously wounded in a firefight.
- Police detained dozens of suspects after the attack and seized a large cache of weapons, and the majority of those arrested remain in custody as forensics and witness statements are processed.
- RTL Nieuws published clearer footage that shows the group stopping at a parked car, moving to the site where Berry was shot, then returning and firing again, giving investigators a sharper timeline of actions before and after the killing.
- De Telegraaf reported that two men alleged to have fired the fatal shots have been identified, a claim not confirmed by police, and investigators say a 28‑year‑old arrested in Germany in a separate cocaine probe surfaced during the Overasselt investigation.
- The public prosecutor and police are limiting comments as the inquiry continues, with next steps focused on matching video and forensic evidence to suspects and on cross‑border cooperation that could lead to prosecutions and further arrests.
