Journalism can never be silent that is it’s greatest virtue. This was cold-blooded revenge on good journalist who was bringing truth to light and exposed crime . without warning assualt has to be kept in mind in this proffesion.

‘On bended knee, is no way to be free’ is a lyric from a song called Guaranteed by Eddie Vedder. It’s a beautiful tune, with superb lyrics. It’s also the centerpiece of the soundtrack for the movie, Into the Wild. A masterpiece itself. RIP Peter de Vries.

Rest in eternal peace sir. The world is poorer without you.

He was defending Nabil B. He was a confidant of him. This Nabil B. Snitched the whole mocro maffia in the Netherlands, and because of him the bosses Taghi and Razouki got arrested and facing life charges. That’s where all the murders started. Peter is not the first one.. RIP PETER❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I hope when they get a conviction, they give the killers the maximum sentence possible, or maybe create a new maximum sentence to send a message.

I’m Irish, this obviously reminds me of the Veronica Guerin assassination in 1996.

This is just the beginning of the evil effects of illicit drugs that Western Europe took for granted and even criticizing other countries for declaring war against it. Expect more of this in the coming years until your government could not control it.

It’s sad and callous that YouTube inserts a smartphone video game advertising for “The Grand Mafia” in this BBC News report.

Peter was a gift man, he solved so many cold cases the police had given up on. He not only helped those with the cases he eventually solved; but he also gave hope to the families of those who are still involved in these cold cases, actively working and investigating on some cases that havent been solved for more then 30 years … He doesnt only leave his own family and friends, but with his death the hope of atleast 10 more families dies. Truely truely sad, may you rest in peace big boss 🌜😿Peter was a gift man, he solved so many cold cases the police had given up on.

Dear Peter, may you rest in peace. You will be missed brave man. 😢💔
z.s
He is a Hero to me and for many in the Netherlands. He helped so many families get the justice they deserve after the lost of there loved one. He even solved a case of a American girl that went missing, her name is Nathalee holloway. He tricked the suspect in to confessing on a hidden camera. Sadly they could’n arrest him because they haven’t found the body jet but the fact that he bit in to cases that the police most of the time forgot about is what makes him special. Greetings Zineb

My condolences to his family… may he Rest In Peace ~ 🙏🏻

The Establishment gets us fighting each other in petty political bouts—and thereby ignoring the real power players in politics and drug and human trafficking.

Very clever on Belarus illegal immigrant smuggling story, BBC excluding Turkey as an assistant country and at the same time is closing comment section. Turkey is orchestrating the smuggling and they have the know-how with Greece. BBC deleting my comments critising Turkey and Ergogan. I find this very suspicious

Brave man respect. Get the killers

All the people sniffing cocaine, or any other drugs are equally responsible for Peter’s murder! If you don’t do cocaine those crooks have nothing to gain!

BBC never mentions Julian Assange – who is being tortured to death in a British prison for exposing crime

He was the only Dutchman who stood by Muslims in the Netherlands. It feels like I lost my dad. Heartbroken

Free Julian Assange…Another Journalist who is being martyred . R.I P. Peter R de Vries .

” He lived by his convictions..”..Something that is sadly missing from the “champagne” Socialist / journalists currently employed at the BBC.

Who are the Names of Organised Crimes . Peter DeVries must not have been murdered. Without those names to be Known. Justice for the CRIMES THEY COMMIT.
