The police announced on Friday morning that he voluntarily came to Noord-Holland through the intervention of a Dutch lawyer. He was arrested and interrogated at the police station. He is now officially charged with leaving the scene of the accident, a serious crime less serious than culpable death.
The suspected German may therefore await further investigation in freedom. The fact that he was released after questioning is because he is suspected of leaving the scene of the accident. “That is not an offense for which pre-trial detention is permitted. The suspect can therefore no longer be detained, ”said the police. The man remains a suspect in the case. The relatives have now been informed.
Run away from home
The fact that there is a suspect is a breakthrough in an investigation that has been dragging on for months and mainly focuses on the car seized in Germany. Tamar was hit by a motorist who then drove on, leaving her helpless. The girl had run away from home after a disagreement about her bedtime. The police found her body on the shoulder of the road on the dike to Marken. The officers were on their way to the former island after Tamar was reported missing by her parents.

After a large-scale investigation, in which possible suspects were seen on camera images in a parking lot in Marken shortly after the accident, the police seized a gray Mazda3 in Germany on Friday 7 August. According to the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI), it turned out that there were traces on the car that make it “very likely” that the car was involved in the fatal accident.
Camera images
Camera images released by the police on August 5 show that the driver and a passenger in the parking lot in Marken inspect the front of the car, after hiding in the car for hours.
The police received numerous tips about these images and photos of objects found on the roadside and were thus able to find out who the owner of the Mazda3 registered in Germany is.
