His party was doing very good in the polls, the elections would have been next wednesday.
They are still deciding what will happen (the elections might be postponed), they did catch the killer. They are not releasing any information about the identity of the man or why he has killed Pim Fortuyn. Hell has broken loose in The Hague and I'm really depressed right now that something like this could happen here
