“If Gino would have been here, he would have looked wide-eyed”: family and friends commemorate deceased boy during wake

On Wednesday evening, about a few thousand people gathered in Kerkrade during a vigil to commemorate Gino, the 9-year-old boy from Maastricht who suddenly disappeared last week and was found dead a few days later. “We are defeated and very sad,” Naomi, Gino’s sister, spoke to the crowd for the first time. “Justice in the Netherlands has failed.”
