The unlocked phones of the suspects in the Oosterhout triple murder case hold images of several places in the town, the public prosecutor told the Zeeland-West-Brabant district court on Wednesday. One image shows the address of two of the victims.
The prosecutor also cited a text found with the images: "Nu heeft hij zijn laatste kebab gegeten" ("Now he has eaten his last kebab"). According to the prosecution, it appears with a photo of the Döner Center on the Loevensteinlaan, where the shooting took place.
It was the sixth interim hearing (tussentijdse zitting) in the case. The shooting took place on the afternoon of Friday 28 March 2025.
At the previous hearing, the prosecutor said one suspect's unlocked phone held many images of weapons and piles of cash, and many chats that can now be read. On Wednesday the prosecutor said there is good hope that specialists at the NFI, the Netherlands Forensic Institute, can also unlock the phones of the other two suspects.
The case continues on 12 January.
