Turnhout – On the Kampheidelaan in Turnhout, Belgium, there is only one question among local residents: what happened in the house where the police found the body of a 14-year-old boy? Six people, including the boy’s father, were arrested. The victim’s body had been there for several weeks, if not months. The inhabitants are Dutch of Surinamese descent, and very religious. “We can perhaps even look in the direction of a cult,” says lawyer Bart Vosters, who assists one of the people.
