Pregnant woman Age: 33
Attempted murder: September 25, 2025
Location: Sneek, Netherlands
Origin: Unknown
Perpetrator: ex-boyfriend
On the evening of Thursday, September 25, 2025, police received a report around 9:30 PM about a shooting in a yellow apartment building in Sneek. Emergency services responded en masse, including multiple police units, ambulances, and a trauma helicopter. In the top-floor apartment, officers found a severely injured woman and Daniel el Makrini, who had taken his own life.
The police believe that El Makrini first shot his ex-girlfriend and then committed suicide. A firearm was found, but no further criminal investigation will follow since the suspect is deceased. According to neighbors, the relationship was troubled and drug problems may also have played a role.
The fact that the woman was pregnant makes the tragedy even more harrowing. Shortly before the shooting, photos of the unborn child's ultrasound appeared on social media.
This attempted murder may not belong in the archive of honor-related violence because drugs could have been involved, but the relationship problems suggest that it could also be related.
Update: The woman and her unborn child have died.
