Suspect in fatal NDSM wharf shooting held for 90 more days

The 37-year-old suspect accused of fatally shooting a 61-year-old man on the NDSM-kade in Amsterdam last September will be held for another 90 days. Authorities believe the suspect and the victim knew each other from their time in prison and that the shooting was prompted by a past dispute.

A 37-year-old man identified as Amin D. will remain in custody for an additional 90 days following the fatal shooting of 61-year-old Marcel at the NDSM-kade in Amsterdam. The suspect was apprehended at the scene on September 25 after allegedly shooting the victim on a terrace. Police divers successfully recovered the suspected murder weapon from the water shortly after the incident took place.

The Public Prosecution Service has revealed that the two men were previously acquainted while both were imprisoned in Zaanstad. Investigators believe the motive for the attack was a confrontation regarding a past event between the pair. The victim has since been laid to rest in a private ceremony, which included an honor guard provided by the police. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the shooting is ongoing while the suspect continues to be detained.
