Three men suspected of involvement in the disappearance of an 18-year-old US girl in 2005 face renewed questioning.

A judge on the Caribbean island of Aruba has ordered that two brothers re-arrested on Wednesday remain in custody for at least eight days more.

The third suspect, Dutch citizen Joran van der Sloot, 20, was flown from the Netherlands to Aruba on Friday and is expected before a judge on Monday.

Natalee Holloway vanished hours before she was due to leave Aruba in 2005.

Mr van der Sloot and brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe, from the former Dutch colony of Surinam, were all previously held as suspects in the case but released for lack of evidence.

'New evidence'

Police in Aruba, a Dutch protectorate, announced this week that they had found "new incriminating evidence" but gave no details.

They then ordered the arrest of all three men on suspicion of involvement in voluntary manslaughter and causing serious bodily harm that resulted in Ms Holloway's death.

The Kalpoe brothers and Mr van der Sloot acknowledged in 2005 that they were with Natalee on the night she disappeared.

They said they gave her a lift but denied any wrongdoing.

Ms Holloway, from Alabama, disappeared in the early hours of 30 May on the last evening of a five-day holiday to celebrate her high-school graduation.

Her body has never been found and a search at the time of her disappearance by hundreds of police, soldiers and local volunteers found no sign of her.

Her father, Dave Holloway, has told the Associated Press that he intends to begin a new search in deeper waters off the coast of Aruba.
