Theo Van Gogh

It is exactly one year ago that Theo van Gogh was murdered by Mohammed Bouyeri. At the moment, there is a remembrance event going on in the Linnaeusstraat in Amsterdam. In a typically satiric touch, in place of a bunch of flowers there is a pot with a cactus plant on the spot where van Gogh was shot and had his throat cut by  Bouyeri. There will be further events throughout the day.

 

Van Gogh was no saint, but no-one deserves to die in the manner that he did. Bouyeri has no remorse.
