Cornelis de Witt was imprisoned in the Gevangenpoort on an accusation of plotting against Prince William III; Johan arrived on August 20 to visit his brother. City militia led them out under the pretense of moving them somewhere safer, but a crowd killed them. The Hague still preserves relics identified as Johan's tongue and Cornelis's finger; examination found the finger belonged to a man aged 40–50 in 1672, although it was not possible to obtain a DNA profile.
