In the case of a missing boy in the Dutch border town of Kerkrade, the police have found a body.
The investigators assume that it is nine-year-old Gino, who had been looking for since Wednesday evening.
This was announced by the police in Kerkrade on Saturday.
A suspicious man had already been arrested on Saturday night.
The body was found in Geleen, about 25 kilometers from Kerkrade.
That's where the suspect was arrested.
Police did not say whether the body was found near the man's home.
According to the police, the site was cordoned off over a large area, and experts secured traces.
The boy actually lived in Maastricht and had spent a few days with an older sister in Kerkrade.
He still wanted to play football on Wednesday evening.
When he wasn't back around 7:30 p.m., the nurse called the police.
