Like i said i find things about this case not quite as straight forward as they first appear...
The police originally went to holland to talk to Dr Vincent Tabak as a witness..
When you put that idea together it sounds unlikely... Maybe that is what they told him, but for what ever reason they treated him as a suspect from the minute they arrived in Holland..
Why didn't they have their little chat with him at his mothers home?
That's what you would think would happen if he was a witness to an event,.. He wasn't implicating his landlord nessisarily, by saying he'sd seen the car move position.. I believe it was just an obsevation..
But I never could understand why they had him at a hotel and interviewed him for 6 hours..
Again seperated him from his family and the 6 hour coisidently is the time that police in holland question someone who isn't under arrest or being charged for something..
The hotel was nice... the couldn't very well take him to a police station (he was supposed to be a witness)and the would have to follow Dutch protocol with regards questioning a suspect..
So they obviously treated him as a susspect from the outset, the question is why??
They had no DNA at this time and no warrant to get his laptop.. so why was he suddenly a suspect in their eyes?/
Ive never known the police to knock on peoples doors looking for witness's carry a DNA kit with them ,just on the off chance.
Police may stop and question any suspect whom they believe to be involved in a violation of law. Temporary detention is limited to 6 hours before the suspect is either released or arrested.
