Netherlands: Driver of Car attack on Dutch royal parade dies - 6 killed
Karst Tates, a 38-year-old Dutch national, was critically injured after his attempted attack on the Dutch royal family, and died in hospital overnight. His car crashed into a monument after ploughing through bystanders who were marking Queen's Day in Apeldoorn. The car narrowly missed a bus which was carrying Queen Beatrix and her family. His neighbours in the eastern town of Huissen told Radio Netherlands that he had worked as a security guard until a few months ago, when he was made redundant. They described him as a quiet, solitary man. "Recently, he informed me that he had been dismissed and could no longer pay the rent," his landlord, Sem Bosman, told De Telegraaf. "He was due to have come today to transfer the keys to a new tenant." Mr Tates had no criminal record or known mental health problems. So far a total of six people have died as a result of the assassination attempt including the assassin.
