#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.
