The three, including one woman, were arrested after the death of the 34-year-old Belgian cyclist, whom they had accompanied on the night that he died in a hotel room in the south of the country where he had planned a holiday.

They were not implicated in his death, but suspected of stealing two cellphones and money from him.

According to a Senegalese forensic scientist who performed the autopsy, Vandenbroucke died from a pulmonary embolism.
