Two 14-Year-Old Girls in Holland Murdered

Hat tip NL Times


For the past several days, I have been following the tragic case of two teenage Dutch girls who went missing and found murdered within 24 hours of each other and  within 20 kilometers of each other in the first weekend in June. Both girls, Savannah Dekker and Romy Nieuwburg, were 14. One of the victims (Romy) was sexually violated as well. Speculation was rife that the two girls were murdered by the same person(s). There was just too much coincidence.

However, police quickly arrested and charged two boys from separate villages and announced that the crimes were unrelated. The only thing we know about the identities of the boys is that one is 16 and the other is 14. One was a schoolmate of Romy, and it is believed Savannah met her killer via social media. Obviously, there is much speculation as to whether these boys are foreigners. There were also reports to two "dark-skinned" men in a black car harassing local schoolgirls. Two men quickly came forward and identified themselves as volunteers in helping to search for the girl(s).

Most of the below links are in Dutch. The last two are in English.

Now police believe that there may be more than just one boy involved in Savannah's death (2 days ago).
