On September 19, 2015, Durdana Bruijn was violently killed on the ship Lazy Duck on which she was making a world trip with her husband Peter Putker. Since the ship had just left Cartagena and was in the vicinity of the Rosario Islands, Putker enlisted the help of the Colombian authorities, informing them that his wife was killed by 'pirates'. Five years later, Putker himself is on trial in the Netherlands on suspicion of manslaughter of his own husband, even though both his own family members and those of Durdana are absolutely convinced of his innocence. The problem, which one of the family members also utters, is that no one can ever be 100% sure because no one can confirm Putker's statement about what happened. Stokman deliberately did not speak to Putker himself, but observed him during the court hearing. But he also shows how the Dutch judiciary works and that gives an extra depth to this loaded, fascinating true-crime documentary.

Nice true-crime documentary.

What will stay with me above all is how such a public prosecutor can put forward arguments in striking terms that point to the total innocence of the suspect, but at the same time quote a series of uncertainties that could just as well lead to a completely different decision.

Exciting and interesting piece of court action.
