From the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf:

Dead of shooting is kickboxer Ron Nyqvist

AMSTERDAM -
The victim of the shooting in Amsterdam Nieuw-West on wednesday, is the 46-year-old kickboxer and criminal Ron Nyqvist. The man had just been released after a prison sentence of twenty years for a double murder.
*
Nyqvist was in the company of a woman when the shooting occurred. She is transferred in confused state to a hospital. One possible scenario is in this case that the victim shot himself, says the Amsterdam police. Beside the lifeless body of Nyqvist a weapon was found.

Nyqvist was sentenced in 2003 to twenty years in prison for the murder of the twin brothers Rob and Eric Driesen in 2001 in Breda. He shot them dead because they were responsible, according to him, for a car bomb attack which a month earlier had been committed on him. Nyqvist and his girlfriend survived the attack, but got injured. The convicted and the victims were all acquaintances in the criminal world.
In 2013 Nyqvist did not return from a leave from prison. After he was tracked down in Austria, his parole was suspended. His prison sentence was not over yet completely but why he was released on wednesday, is not clear.
 
Wait so he was supposed to be in prison for double murder, but was able to take "leave" to which he took off, got captured and put back in prison then was able to leave again? WTF? Double homicide and he's being let out of prison? What do you have to do to be put away for life in Holland?
 
Same here, Snub, they steal millions of euros from the state and they can spend their holidays in family. 3-4 days or so. I mean WTF.

In the Netherlands even worse. Not to mention that the prison conditions are pretty good.

I bet they don"t learn anything from this.

RIP, what can I say! I don"t know how guilty he was but once when"re convicted for such thing...

It is almost inpossible. Judges are way too kind in a lot of cases.
 
20 years means you can get out in 12 with good behavior here in holland.

But shit is starting to get crazy with with the liquidations.
 
"Kickboxer and criminal", is a quite common description over there, isn't it?

yeah, a lot of that because of racism. The dutch newspapers like shitting on kickboxing coz its "the moroccans" sport or "the immigrants"

i mean, boxing and the crime world have a lifelong association, MMA likewise, but i dont see either of those sports getting the same kind of "OMG they are all gangsters" nonsense written about them all the time

its such bullshit; its really hurt the sport and held it back. No criminals go to soccer games? No gangsters are in the crowd at Ajax and Feynoord, or promoting music events in amsterdam? Funny how the thing the police and media focus on most is also the one with the most non-white audience and participants
 
Ehhh, I don't know if you can just claim racism. Aren't the people that have those crime connections white?

Is it racism to point out that certain ethnic group and nationalities are over represented in serious crime? No it isn't. The Dutch kickboxing scene is plagued with criminals and their involvement in the sport. Sad, but a fact.

Bullshit. The link between crime and kickboxing has always been there in the Netherlands and it has nothing to do with race. The real issues started when politics linked kickboxing events with organized crime. The blame has mostly been put on motor gangs and such.
 
Well now i know to take anyone i want to kill to the netherlands in the future

Let's be real here, a lot of the reason that kickboxing is so heavily looked down upon is because of guys like Ron. Ron did a lot of things that were suspect and he still had an alarming amount of power in GLORY until very, very recently.

If Dutch kickboxing doesn't want to be seen as having links to organized crime then they have to purge some of the bad eggs. Those bad eggs are going nowhere, though.
