webfact Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Danish artist murdered by ex-girlfriend in the Philippines Jens Overgaard Bjerre. Photo used with permission from the Bjerre family.BANGKOK: - The Danish cobra-inspired artist and communication consultant, Jens Overgaard Bjerre, 65, was on July 17, 2014 murdered by his former Filipino girlfriend with three stab wounds, including one through his heart which killed him, while he was asleep in his hotel room in Cebu. He has now been flown to Denmark to undergo a forensic examination. Jens Overgaard Bjerre loved the Philippines and traveled there for a period regularly over the past nine years. He often got his inspiration for his art using paintings in combination with writing, during his holidays in the Philippines. After the typhoon Yolanda struck, he painted four pictures and sold them at Scandinavian auctions and donated the money to victims. Denmark and the Philippines have lost a great artist in this senseless, unprovoked murder. Jens Overgaard Bjerre had always been supportive of the poorest people in any society he found himself in. His ancestors were among the first to introduce free medical care for the poor in Denmark. “The family is in deep sorrow and do not want to comment any further,” said P. Aabenhus, an employee of Jens Overgaard Bjerre Company.

Not much provoking could be going on while he is asleep. Unless you count snoring such as happened to a UK husband. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aries27 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 In the PI - anyone that knows the country & people = no surprise there...... Pgrahmm, you have statistics to back up your claim? At least not as many farangs killed by their Thai wives/gfs. Ooops, a few ruffled feathers here no doubt but that was a careless comment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post uheuhe Posted August 15, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2014 The Cobra is so well know in Scandinavia among educated people that no further explanation is needed. It stands for COBRA (or CoBrA) was a European avant-garde movement active from 1948 to 1951. The name was started around 1950 from the initials of the members' home cities: Copenhagen (Co), Brussels (Br), Amsterdam (A). Most famous danish member is Asger Jorn. Cobra-inspired....

BobTH Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) Rest in peace Mr. Bejerre, being stabbed to death must be one of the worst ways to die. I did a little research on his work and found it very abstract and somewhat disturbing. Here is an example of his work called "American Indians Forever".

tifino Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 strange MO, her doing it herself. Philippine way is to do hire-killings, or at least have a 3rd party that stands to gain from the result. I was over there 1995, when an aussie was shot at home the day after married. Months later, I was almost set up by my the now-ex, to 'go for a boatride', with who I luckily found was her 'real love'; who by the way was eventually caught for having stabbed her original husband to death a year earlier.

Interesting! You should write a thread about that unique experience. I hope your life is now less dangerous.

uheuhe Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I do not mean to sound disrespectful but that picture looks like it has been lifted off a nursery wall. Well GAZZPA That was the basic idea behind the COBRA manifest. COBRA was objecting/antipathy to the surrealist paintings that were in fashion around 1950, it was a unifying doctrine of complete freedom of colour and form, and I love your observation 'lifted off a nursery wall' Is so good, that I don't hesitate to compliment you for your brilliant observation.
