The alleged murderer [[Mohammed Bouyeri]] from [[Hofstad Network]] killed Gogh in fit of rage.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3974179.stm ''Gunman kills Dutch film director'']. Retrieved 21 July 2009.</ref> The reason for murdering Gogh was to oppose the most controversial film [[Submission (2004 film)|Submission]]. Bouyeri shot Gogh from very far range and close range, moreover he slit Gogh's throat with a knife and attached a 5 letter page in Gogh's chest with a combat knife. Bouyeri was chased by Dutch police after shooting a bullet in Bouyeri's leg. Bouyeri was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment with no parole. Bouyeri implied, he doesn't have any regret for killing Gogh and he termed the assassination as [[Jihad]]. <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><ref name=jihad/> |

Sooner after Gogh's assassination, [[Ayaan Hirsi Ali]] and [[Geert Wilders]] went into hiding. This is because Bouyeri gave death threats to Hirsi albeit she is writer for the film. .<ref>[http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/controversial-filmmaker-shot-dead-531777.html "Controversial filmmaker shot dead"]</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/ayaan-hirsi-ali-my-life-under-a-fatwa-760666.html |title=Ayaan Hirsi Ali: My life under a fatwa |work=The Independent |date=27 November 2007 |accessdate=27 January 2012}}</ref> |
