Officials juggle use-of-force scrutiny, protest policing, explosives forensics.

Overview

  • The mother of the 15-year-old shot dead by police in Capelle aan den IJssel will file a criminal complaint alleging manslaughter, with her lawyer seeking witness access and an independent pathologist.
  • Authorities state the boy carried a functioning converted gas-alarm pistol and officers issued multiple warnings before firing, as the Rijksrecherche review proceeds.
  • In Doetinchem, councillors approved a temporary asylum center for about 100 people for three years, after which protests turned violent, the ME conducted charges and police later reported seven arrests as calm returned.
  • Eindhoven police are investigating an attempted attack on restaurant Zeester where a suspect fled after placing two mortar-type explosive shells and carrying a can of suspected petrol, with forensics securing traces and specialists rendering devices safe.
  • A plastic bag with cobra devices and flammable liquid found near Gerretsonplein prompted EOD deployment and a partial flat evacuation, with investigators probing a possible link to the failed fish shop attack as regional 112 logs recorded numerous separate incidents across provinces.
