Dutch police arrest 4 more, including first adult, in deadly assault on soccer linesman
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Dutch police have arrested four more suspects in their investigation into the attack on a volunteer linesman who died a day after players on a youth team assaulted him following a match.
The arrests on Tuesday bring to eight the number of suspects in custody in the case — seven of them teenagers.
Police say in a statement they have arrested three teenagers and a 50-year-old man, the first adult to be detained in the case, all from Amsterdam.

Some 12,000 people attended a silent march Sunday to commemorate Nieuwenhuizen.
