ORANJESTAD, Aruba — For the first time Friday, Aruban authorities detailed the allegations suspected of the five men being held in connection with the disappearance of 18-year-old Natalee Holloway and they suggested that Natalee was murdered.

Joran van der Sloot and his friends Deepak and Satish Kalpoe are being held under suspicion of murder and kidnapping as well as being an accessory to murder. A fourth man, Steve Croes, is being held under the same conditions.

The fifth man, Paul van der Sloot -- the father of 17-year-old Joran -- was being held on suspicion of complicity to pre-meditated murder, complicity to kidnapping and murder and kidnapping. Under the Aruban system, complicity is a lesser charge.

None of the men have been charged with a crime. But all are in police custody.

The complicity to kidnapping charge intrigues me. You cannot "kidnap" a dead body. Does this mean that Paul VDS was involved in the crime(s) while Natalee was still alive? If so, what part did he play?

There's that word again: premeditated.
