The divers were searching in the Scheldt-Rhine Canal for the second time in a short time, as a result of a specific tip.
There was a rumor that the body of Johan van der Heyden (56) would be cast in concrete and thrown into the water, the police said. Thursday afternoon around three o’clock the police divers indeed found a specie tank with concrete in the water of the Scheldt-Rhine Canal.
The tub has been taken out of the water and is being brought to the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI). There it is investigated what exactly it contains.
The family of Johan Van der Heyden has since been informed of the find in the water.
Missing
The Belgian Johan Van der Heyden from Lint has been missing since 2 June last year. The police have been assuming for a while that he is no longer alive. Despite seven arrests in this case, it is still not clear what happened to him. His body is also still not found. The trail of the loss led to the Netherlands.
The main suspect in the case are Nicky S (31) and his girlfriend Wanda. The police think they have taken Johan hostage in his own van. In it they would have driven him to the Netherlands, to Steenbergen. He would then have been murdered and cut to pieces in a caravan camp on Westlandseweg in Steenbergen.
