Video of Dutch suspect's assassination in Suriname released

Warning: the video below depicts graphic violence and may be shocking to some people.

A video of the assassination of Amsterdam criminal Marchano Pocorni (37) has been released. Pocorni was killed in a cafe in Suriname early yesterday morning. The surveillance camera footage shows two men casually entering the cafe on Heliumstraat in Paramaribo Noord, pulling out firearms and firing at Pocorni. The perpetrators then fled from the cafe on foot. Pocorni died at the scene. Pocorni has been linked to the murder of Najeb Boubhou in Antwerp in October 2012. Najeb Boubhou was a notorious drug criminal in Amsterdam. Pocorni survived a previous assassination attempt in a cafe in Amsterdam Oost in October last year.
