At the beginning of 2021, the police found child pornography on the mobile phone of Donny M., who is the suspect in the murder of the 9-year-old boy Gino van der Straeten. When the police found the child pornography, they were aware of M.'s sexual history. Only when the suspect was arrested in June this year for the murder of 9-year-old Gino, spurring the police to search the systems, did the cell phone reappear. The boy's body was found near M.’s house in Geleen on June 4, after the suspect told the police where to look.
