Second Arrest in Rotterdam Killing of Sam, 24, With 28-Year-Old Held on Manslaughter Suspicion

Prosecutors extended a 28-year-old suspect’s detention pending the search for a third occupant.

Overview

  • The Public Prosecution Service said a 20-year-old man from Nijmegen was arrested Monday on suspicion of involvement in the shooting.
  • A 28-year-old from Nijmegen is formally suspected of manslaughter and weapons possession, and his detention was extended by two weeks.
  • Both detainees are being held under restrictions that allow contact only with their lawyers.
  • Police report a third occupant fled after the gunfire, and investigators have not established whether the newly arrested 20-year-old is that person; an earlier arrest was later deemed unrelated.
  • Sam was shot in or near her white Suzuki Alto at Rotterdam’s Kralingseplein around 1:45 a.m., was resuscitated at the scene, died Sunday afternoon in hospital, and leaves a 3-year-old son.
