#10 The Assassination of Theo van Gogh





The assassination of Theo van Gogh was a shock to the world and to the very non-engaged, neutral Holland. The film director and TV presenter was born in the Hague. He was the great-grandson of Theo van Gogh – the brother of Vincent van Gogh.


He didn't graduate the University of Amsterdam, his passion to make and discover the film industry predominated his life. Even though he always tried to be politically non-engaged, he wrote a book "Allah weet het better"/ "Allah knows better" – which appeared shortly after the tragedy of the Twin Towers at 11 of September 2001. The publication and outspoken point of view led to a disaster, his death. The book strongly criticized the Islam and the fundamental movements.



Theo van Gogh was assassinated in Amsterdam, while cycling to work at November 4th, 2004. The assassin, Mohammed Bouyeri, was a 26-year-old Dutch-Moroccan citizen, apprehended by police after a chase, while he tried to run off he was shot in the leg. Van Gogh was shot several times, the wounds were severe, all of them lethal. While struggling for life van Gogh asked for mercy, in contrary, the assassin, cut his throat, he also wanted to decapitate him, he put the knife deep into his chest by which he broke the spinal cord asunder. The smaller knife was used as a 'paper clip' to which the message was enclosed.

#4 A Peculiar Character of Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey

His mysterious death was supposed to be silent and left behind, in contrary, it caused mayhem and upheavals shortly after it occurred. His noble background opened him the gate to British Parliament, He was very-well educated, he attended to Westminster School, graduated Christ Church, Oxford. In September 1666 he received a knighthood. Despite of being Protestant he had a significant number of his Catholic counterparts, including the Duke of York, the future king James II.

The Classification of Gunshot Wounds

Gunshot wounds are either penetrating or perforating. Penetrating wounds occur when a bullet enters an object and does not exit; in perforating wounds, the bullet passes completely through the object. A wound, however, can be both penetrating and perforating. Gunshot wounds can be divided into four broad categories, depending on the range from the muzzle to target: contact, near contact, intermediate, and distant. In contact wounds, the muzzle of the weapon is held against the surface of the body at the time of discharge. Contact wounds may be hard, loose, angled, or incomplete . In hard-contact wounds, the muzzle of the weapon is jammed “hard” against the skin, indenting it, so that the skin envelops the muzzle. In hard contact wounds, the immediate edges of the entrance are seared by the hot gases of combustion and blackened by the soot. This soot is embedded in the seared skin and cannot be completely removed either by washing or by vigorous scrubbing of the wound. In...
