Louis Sévèke

Jean Louis Bernhard Sévèke (Venray, 28 April 1964 – Nijmegen, 15 November 2005) was a Dutch radical left activist, journalist and writer.

Sévèke lived in Nijmegen from 1984, and later stopped his studies to become a full-time activist, involved in several squatting movements.

[1] In 1990 he authored a book about Dutch intelligence, called De tragiek van een geheime dienst ('The tragedy of a secret service'), and wrote for publications including Buro Jansen & Janssen, NRC Handelsblad and Vrij Nederland.

[citation needed] On 28 March 2007 the public prosecutor on the case revealed that a 38-year-old man from Rotterdam, named Marcel Teunissen according to the Spanish police, had confessed to the murder.

Sévèke's family denies that Teunissen was removed from the scene but instead went away himself as a result of a discussion on taking money from houseowners for leaving.
