Shortly after the collision, one of the facades of the LandSroemlaan, where the accident took place, a banner was hung on which the police were called for murderers. According to one of the speakers, the police would have forced the residents of that building to remove the banner. The story was welcomed by those present, and several times it was called “Police Partout, Justice Nulle Part” (« Everywhere police, nowhere righteousness », ed.).
At 12.30 a quiet march will follow through the Elizabeth Park.
