Dutch court finds terror suspect linked to UK botanists murder case
A 29-year-old terror suspect who appeared in a court in the Netherlands this week, has alleged links to the Rodney and Rachael Saunders case, here in KZN.
The UK-born botanists disappeared from the Bivane Dam, near Vryheid, earlier this year.
Months later, remains found in the area were positively identified as theirs.
Local police have arrested three people and charged them with a raft of crimes, including murder and terror-related crimes.
They've all been denied bail and remain in custody.
According to the reports, Dutch prosecutors say a man identified as 'Mohammed G' from the Limburg province, in the south of the Netherlands, tried to buy bitcoins using Rachel Saunders' credit card details.
They allege he knows two of the Saunders' alleged kidnappers and has ties to a Somali-based suspect and that the group wanted to raise funds to buy weaponry and set up a training camp, in Somalia.
