came as a shock to me this news
makes sense other countries cover this news either, not just BBC but also in Belgium on some front pages, and in Germany also among the top stories of the news broadcasts such as RTL Aktuell
he had some high profile crime cases such as Natalee Holloway (Natalee's mother was heartbroken to hear this news, she always has seen Peter R as a hero, for his work in getting a confession out of Joran van der Sloot)
or also the case against crime boss Willem Holleeder, getting Willem's sisters to testify against him
currently the suspects of this are linked to another big crime boss, Ridouan Taghi whom some people think he orchestrated this from jail, since he also was behind the murder of a attorney Derk Wiersum and murder of a key witness in that case
