Born in Amsterdam, Mieremet was murdered at the age of 45, while conducting business in Pattaya, Thailand at around 10:00 a.m. local time.
The duo was known as Spic and Span due to the supposedly efficient, effective and undetectable manner in which they got rid of their opponents.
The Canadian journalists Julian Sher and William Marsden described Mieremet as a "handsome, professional-looking gangster with wire-rimmed glasses and short dark curly hair.
Just a few days before his own demise, on the evening of Hingst's murder, Mieremet gave a telephone interview to crime reporter John van den Heuvel for his new television programme.
The obviously gleeful statements probably relate to the fact that Mieremet accused Hingst of being involved in the nearly-successful assassination attempt on his life in Amsterdam.
[2] After his recovery he openly talked about the connections between the real-estate business and the underworld in an interview given to the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf.
[1] Mieremet accused Endstra of laundering millions for Willem van Boxtel, the president of the Amsterdam Hells Angels chapter.
According to local Thai media, Mieremet was shot at 10:00 a.m. in his office in Pattaya, a beach resort in Chonburi Province.
A Pattaya People journalist stated that the gunman arrived on the back of a moped and walked into Mieremet's office.
