Getaway car used in Amsterdam intern's murder was stolen from Houten

The car used in a fatal shooting at a community center in Amsterdam on January 26th, was stolen in Houten on January 5th, the police revealed on Opsporing Verzocht on Tuesday night. 17-year-old Mohammed Bouchikhi, who worked as an intern at the community center on Grote Wittenburgerstraat, was killed in the shooting. Two others were injured.

The car, a black BMW 1 series, was found burning on Dantestraat in Amsterdam Zuidoost three hours after the shooting. The car was equipped with forged license plates after being stolen in Houten.

Surveillance camera footage show a man with a pram looking at the car parked on the street on the day of the murder. The police would like to talk to this man.

Mohammed was buried in Morocco on Friday. Since last week's broadcast of Opsporing Verzocht, the police received 20 new tips about this case.
