RSSKalpoe Brother Also to be Released on Saturday
ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) - A judge Friday ordered the release of two brothers suspected of being involved in the disappearance of American teen Natalee Holloway, their lawyers said, ensuring that all suspects in the 3-month-old case will be freed.
The judge ruled that Deepak, 18, and Satish Kalpoe, 21, could go free on condition that they not leave Aruba and remain available to police, said attorneys Ruud Oomen and David Kock.
The brothers, Surinamese nationals, will be released Saturday, along with Joran van der Sloot, a Dutch teen who said he was with Holloway on a beach in the early hours of the day she disappeared, the attorneys said.
Although the judge on Thursday had ordered the brothers held for another eight days, he agreed Friday to their release “since the brothers were free for almost two months and made no attempt to evade justice and submitted themselves to any court proceedings,” Oomen told The Associated Press.
