A policewoman from Gorinchem has been arrested on suspicion of planning to murder her former partner.

The woman, who is 41, was picked up in early June and was remanded in custody for 60 days earlier this month, the public prosecution department said on Thursday.

Five other people have also been arrested in connection with the investigation. Two of them, a 19-year-old man from Ermelo and a 37-year-old man with no fixed address remain in custody.

Two women, aged 42 and 19, and a minor, were arrested earlier but since released. They remain suspects, the public prosecution department said.
