I got the above image of Dutch crime journalist Peter R de Vries from BBC website. It was really heartbreaking and shocking because he was all over the news here in my hometown of Rotterdam and all over the Netherlands.
"A prominent Dutch journalist known for investigating the criminal underworld has been shot and seriously wounded on a street in central Amsterdam." "Peter R de Vries, 64, was shot minutes after leaving a TV studio, where he had appeared on a chat show. Mr de Vries is famed for his work on exposing mobsters and drug lords, and has helped police solve a number of high-profile cases." "Three men were arrested, but police say one is no longer a suspect. Hours after the attack, two men were arrested in a car on the A4 motorway at Leidschendam - a 35-year-old Polish national living in Maurik and a 21-year-old man living in Rotterdam. They will face court on Friday." "An 18-year-old was arrested in Amsterdam, but will be released. The mayor of Amsterdam, Femke Halsema, described Mr de Vries as "a national hero to us all" and as "a rare, courageous journalist who tirelessly sought justice"." "The attack happened just after 19:30 (17:30 GMT), as the journalist was walking away from the studio on the Lange Leidsedwarsstraat. Five shots were fired at close range and Mr de Vries, 64, was hit in the head." www.bbc.com
It was described as a “heartless attack” by many here in the Netherlands and also by the blog on BBC website. The English version can give you more details about how it happened. You can find the rest of the news on BBC website by clicking the link or image above.
