There is a breakthrough in the disappearance case around Heidi de Schepper from Balen, the mother of three children who suddenly disappeared in 2010. Het Laatste Nieuws writes that on Friday. Three suspects were arrested on Thursday: Nick M. (55), the then partner and father of her children, and two friends of his. Striking: Comrade Nick G. (33) has already been convicted for murder. He was arrested on suspicion of the murder of Heidi.
The 26-year-old De Schepper suddenly disappeared in 2010, but no one ever reported her disappearance. Only at the end of January an investigation message was distributed after the school of one of her children informed the police that they could not reach her. Her partner at the time, Nick M., told the police that he never saw Heidi again. He only raised the three children. Thursday he was arrested with two others, on suspicion of the murder of Heidi de Schepper.
Their precise role still has to be cleared. For the time being, only one suspect has been interrogated: Nick G. from Balen. The investigating judge arrested him for murder. Nick G. was already convicted two years after Heidi's disappearance for the so -called Bijlmoord, for which he was in prison for 23 years. He had killed his best friend in 2011. In 2021 he was released early.
The other two suspects, the former partner and a 39-year-old friend of his, are being heard today about their precise role in the facts. According to Het Laatste Nieuws, the investigators assume that all three have something to do with her death or have hidden her body. In any case, the public prosecutor's office speaks of an important breakthrough after handsome police work.
