Brothers Re-Arrested in Holloway CaseTwo Brothers
Previously Detained Now Suspected of Murder, Rape in Case, Authorities Say
Natalee Holloway was last seen on May 30, 2005, while on a high school graduation trip to the island of Aruba.
Aug. 26, 2005 — Two brothers previously detained in the disappearance of missing student Natalee Holloway have been arrested on the suspicion of rape and murder in the case. Another man has also been arrested in connection with the case.
Deepak Kalpoe, a 21-year-old Suriname national, his 18-year-old brother, Satish, and another man whose name has not been released have been arrested by Aruban authorities and are being turned over to Dutch investigators for questioning, Dave Holloway, Natalee's father, told ABC News this morning. Aruban authorities later confirmed the arrests as the men appeared in Aruban court today.
The brothers, Aruban prosecutors said in a statement, and "other people" were arrested after authorities uncovered "new facts and circumstances," in the investigation. Prosecutors said "there had to be new facts and circumstances" to lead to the arrests.
Dave Holloway said an FBI official close to the investigation called him and informed him of the arrests today. The Kalpoe brothers and the third person of interest will be questioned, but they have not been charged.
"I think the authorities, as time went on, developed some information that they could re-arrest these guys," Dave Holloway said.
The Kalpoes and 18-year-old Joran van der Sloot were the last people seen with Natalee as the four left a nightclub on May 30 — the night the 18-year-old Alabama student disappeared at the end of a high school graduation trip to the Dutch Caribbean island.
The young men were arrested June 9, but the Kalpoe brothers were later released after a judge ruled there was not enough evidence to hold them. Van der Sloot was the only person held in custody in the case, until today, and no one has been formally charged.
Van der Sloot Scheduled for September Release
An Aruban judge is scheduled to hold a hearing on Sept. 4 to determine if there is enough evidence to continue holding van der Sloot. Dave Holloway said the arrests of the Kalpoes make him optimistic that authorities will keep van der Sloot in custody.
"The re-arrests give me hope that Dutch authorities will get to the bottom of this," he said. "The first interrogators were able to get this far, but I'm confident that they'll also keep Joran van der Sloot in custody after Sept. 4."
Looks like Joran and his buddies are going to spend some time in the pokie together again. Let's hope they have the evidence to KEEP the Kalpoe brothers in jail this time.
That's breaking news??? Boooooooooooooooring!
I have MUCHO more sympathy for Beth Holloway-Twitty than the BNDD........
Eyewitnesses have come forward, maybe? I don't know how they can press rape and murder charges without a body.
Not if you're the Holloway family. I hope the evidence is available to keep them this time.
Rape and murder? I've been boycotting Fox and CNN because of their obsessive Holloway coverage, but as far as I know, still no body. How do they know it's a "rape and murder?"
That's true... but I am not a Holloway, I am just a regular member of the audience with a sever case of ADD. ;)
At noon I heard a report that they were arrested on rapes not related to the Holloway case.
I have a daughter close to Natalee's age who looks a lot like her. Too close to home for me. This is gut-wrenching for us to watch. But for the grace of God...
No kidding.
All Holloway-Hurricane coverage....all the time.
What are you doing, watching that bunch of lefties on CNN?
I hear you... and it amazes me that there are no real breakthroughs in this case.
There are multiple sources involving rape and assault, at least three. The stories are centered around Urine but his pals must be part of it. A new pal, Freddie, or FA, has also been arrested. That suggests a lot of new information.
