Info from police:
On the 30th of April 1992, during Queens day a young man set himself on fire in the Vondelpark in Amsterdam. He died later that day of his injuries, his identity is still unknown.
Date Found: 30 April 1992
Skin color: probably white
Length: 169 centimeter (5'5 feet)
Build: Normal/Thin
Age: Young male is mentioned, which makes me think 18-30 range
Hair: Dark blonde straight hair of circa 12 centimeter (possibly in a style associated with Hare Krishna)
Foot size: 24.5 centimeter (8.5 US, 39.5 Netherlands)
Dentals: all teeth in good condition
clothes: Burned jeans, socks and underpants
Scars: pox prick at the outside of his upper right arm; various shallow transverse linear scars in the inside of the lower right arm (likely indicating self-mutilation, which would indicate that the male is left-handed)
Based on the hair it could be that the male was part of a Hare Krishna movement.
-----
My observations:
This case was recently published (after 27 years!). Vondelpark is a really busy place during Queens day, lots of people and children during the day doing the classical dutch selling of goods on Queens Day. Thus it is really strange that I have a hard time finding more details or any news articles (like the time he was burned). The hair and potential Hare Krishna involvement seems a really good lead as well. Not sure how big this movement is in Amsterdam, and how hidden the members are from the outside world or if they have a lot of foreign members.
