WILLEMSTAD - Something really needs to be done about firearms possession in Curaçao. This is according to Minister Sithree van Heydoorn in response to the murder of amateur soccer player Sedwin Reigina.
The Hubentut Fortuna player was shot just before the kick-off of a soccer match. According to the minister, the safety of innocent people cannot be endangered. This was the case on Wednesday at the FFK stadium in Brievengat which was filled to capacity. Several organizations regret the shooting incident, including the government sports organization FDDK. The organization calls for a joint solution to be found. According to the FDDK, these kinds of incidents should never happen again. The police are still investigating the matter.
The player died in the hospital later that night.
