“A firearm was found next to the man. Nyqvist was accompanied by a woman, who was found to be in shock and taken to the hospital, police stated. The incident happened at about 10:45 a.m.
“The German-born 46 year old died from injuries related to the shooting in a parking garage on Bart Poesiatstraat. He had just been released from a 20-year jail sentence for the murder of two Brabant brothers, says Het Parool.”
