During a raid by an arrest team on a house on Speelmanstraat in the Rotterdam district of Kralingen, a suspect was shot dead on Saturday morning. Another wanted suspect was injured and has been arrested. A seriously injured woman was also found in the house and was taken to hospital.
The raid took place in the context of an Amsterdam investigation in which a 33-year-old man was found dead in a basement storage room corridor on the Clauskindereweg in Amsterdam-Osdorp last week. The man appeared to have been shot dead. It is possible that this was a liquidation.
