The Maastricht court will look into the house of the Sittard family L., suspected of the "hydrochloric acid murders. In the house in Tudderen, Germany, 24-year-old Alan Gergeri and 29-year-old Mouhammed al-Jader were allegedly murdered. The bodies of the two Iraqis were allegedly dissolved in hydrochloric acid and flushed down the sewer.
The court is going to hold a so-called hearings because several suspects have said they want to make a statement. Gergeri was allegedly killed in the summer of 2009 and Mouhammed al-Jader in August 2011.
The L. family consists of father Hub, mother Els, sons Michel and Maurice, and the still-fugitive daughter Rachelle. Ron van K., a friend of the family, allegedly helped make Al-Jader's corpse disappear. So far, only he has made a statement. The inquest will take place only after Hub L. and his sons Maurice and Michel have made statements.
The prosecutor earlier described the case as a "godawful criminal case in which terrible things happened.
Gergeri was allegedly killed with a knife and pickaxe; al-Jader was allegedly riddled with dozens of bullets. Hydrochloric acid was stirred into the barrel daily to speed up the process of dissolution. The liquid remains of the two men would have been distributed among small buckets and washed away.
Al-Jader was Rachelle's boyfriend and allegedly demanded money constantly, being aware of criminal activities of the family. Asylum seeker Gergeri allegedly raped Maurice, the youngest son of the L. family.
