Diskussion Der prominente niederländische Kriminal-Reporter Peter R. de Vries (64) ist knapp zehn Tage nach dem Mordanschlag auf ihn in Amsterdam seinen schweren Verletzungen erlegen. Das teilte die Familie am Donnerstag in Amsterdam mit. De Vries war am 6. Juli niedergeschossen worden. „Peter hat gekämpft bis zum Ende, aber er konnte den Kampf nicht gewinnen“, heißt es in der Erklärung der Familie. Kollegen und Politiker reagierten bestürzt auf den Tod des bekannten Reporters. Ein Mann hatte auf den Reporter auf offener Straße mehrere Schüsse abgegeben, als er ein TV-Studio verlassen hatte. Der Mordanschlag hat die Niederlande zutiefst geschockt und war auch international mit Entsetzen aufgenommen worden.
