Dutch Military Police (Koninklijke Marechaussee) at Amsterdam Schiphol airport have arrested all 22 members of a Suriname brass band on suspicion of attempting to smuggle drugs into the Netherlands.

The band members were arrested during a 100 percent check, in which every person arriving on flights from certain locations are subjected to a full-body check for contraband.

An Irish drug dealer whose remains have been found in an Amsterdam canal had fled Ireland to avoid imprisonment and to escape gang members who held him responsible for revealing information that led to discovery of their drugs factory.

Amsterdam police found his remains three weeks ago in the water near Diemerzeedijk.

The body of Keith Ennis (30), from Clondalkin, Dublin, had been dismembered and stuffed into bags, suitcases and trash bags.
