Saïd Fakir (34) shot dead on Korte Papaverweg, shortly before his trial

On Sunday 10 November 2013 the 34-year-old Saïd Fakir was shot dead on Korte Papaverweg in Amsterdam-Noord. Almost four weeks later, on 6 December 2013, he was due to answer for his involvement in a series of ram-raids using explosives. Whether he was killed in connection with that has never been established. Fakir had earlier been linked to the murders of Colombian drug dealer Diego Ortiz Rodriguez and his Nicaraguan girlfriend Alejandra Saenz Silva on Brentanostraat in Amsterdam-Zuidoost. No one has ever been convicted of the killing on Korte Papaverweg.
