Three boys aged 15, 12 and 13 will face charges relating to the murder of 14-year-old Dirk Post, whose body was found dumped in woods near the fishing village of Urk in November, news agency ANP reports.

The 15-year-old has been considered the main suspect in the killing on the staunchly Protestant former island in the IJsselmeer. All three boys were arrested shortly after the crime.
A spokesman for the public prosecution department refused to say what charges the boys will face and when the case is likely to be heard.
