'''[[Theo van Gogh (film director)|Theo Van Gogh]]''' was murdered by [[Mohammed Bouyeri]] as he was cycling to work on 2 November 2004 at about 9 o'clock in the morning, in front of the Amsterdam East borough office (''stadsdeelkantoor''), on the corner of the Linnaeusstraat and Tweede Oosterparkstraat ({{Coord|52|21|32.22|N|4|55|34.74|E|type:landmark}}).<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3974179.stm ''Gunman kills Dutch film director'']. Retrieved 21 July 2009.</ref> |
|||
==Assassination== |
|||
The killer shot van Gogh eight times with an [[HS2000]] [[handgun]]. Initially from his bicycle, Bouyeri fired several bullets at Van Gogh, who was hit, as were two bystanders. Wounded, Van Gogh ran to the other side of the road and fell to the ground on the [[cycle lane]]. According to eyewitnesses, Van Gogh's last words were: "Mercy, mercy! We can talk about it, can't we?"<ref>[http://weblog.roelonline.net/archives/002502.php ''weblog.roelonline.net'' 4 nov 2004]</ref> Bouyeri then walked up to Van Gogh, who was still lying down, and calmly shot him several more times at close range.<ref>[http://www.novatv.nl/page/detail/uitzendingen/3174/Reconstructie+van+de+moord+op+Theo+van+Gogh# ''Reconstructie van de moord op Theo van Gogh'', ''[[NOVA (televisieprogramma)|Nova]]'', 25 Jan 2005]</ref><ref>[http://www.om.nl/organisatie/item_144364/item_144365/nieuwsberichten/@128509/stand_van_zaken/ ''Stand van zaken onderzoek moord Theo van Gogh'', ''[[Openbaar Ministerie|OM]]'', 26 Jan 2005]</ref> Bouyeri then cut Van Gogh’s throat, and tried to decapitate him with a large knife, after which he stabbed the knife deep into Van Gogh's chest, reaching his [[spinal cord]]. He then attached a note to the body with a smaller knife. Van Gogh died on the spot. Six years after the assassination, in a letter to a Muslim group in Belgium, he writes that he still has no regret killing Van Gogh.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dutchnews.nl/news/archives/2010/07/van_gogh_killer_has_no_regrets.php|title=Van Gogh killer has no regrets|author=Dutch News|publisher=|date=July 9, 2010|accessdate=July 11, 2010}}</ref> |

===Funeral=== |
|||
The [[cremation]] ceremony took place on 9 November. He had spoken about his own funeral with friends shortly before his death because he had feared he would not survive a flight to [[New York City|New York]].<ref name=NOVA >{{Cite web |url=http://www.novatv.nl/page/detail/uitzendingen/3013#|title=De crematie van Theo van Gogh|publisher=[[Nederlandse Omroep Stichting|NOS]]|date=9 November 2004|accessdate=17 July 2012 |language=Dutch}}</ref> [[Maarten van Rossem]] was asked by Van Gogh's relatives to speak, something he found difficult in that he wanted to avoid sounding apocalyptic.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.maartenonline.nl/Maarten-van-Rossem/index.html|language=Dutch|title=Biografie Maarten van Rossem|accessdate=17 July 2012}}</ref> His father spoke about how van Gogh would have liked all the media attention his murder had caused.<ref name=NOVA/> |
