Dutch football linesman Richard Nieuwenhuizen who died a week ago after he was assaulted at the end of a youth game was cremated on Monday, Dutch media reported.
Members of Dutch soccer club SC Buitenboys lay roses on a hearse headed to the crematory, carrying the body of Richard Nieuwenhuizen, a soccer linesman who died after he was assaulted at the end of a youth game a week ago.
