Man jailed for air hostess murder at new trialFriday 09 October 2009 A 33-year old man has been jailed for 15 years for the rape and murder of an air hostess in 1994, bringing one of the most controversial legal cases in recent Dutch history to a conclusion. Two other men from the village of Putten, Wilco Viets and Herman du Bois, completed seven years of a 10-year jail sentence for the crime and were released in 2002. Their convictions were largely based on confessions, which they later withdrew. In 2002 the convictions were overturned as scientists reviewed the DNA evidence. Ron P, who was 18 at the time of the murder, was arrested in May 2008 after scientists matched his DNA to that of sperm found on the body of Christel Ambrosius, murdered in her grandmother’s home on the edge of woods in Gelderland. He too denies killing Christel but says they had a secret relationship.

sure the guy wants to make the girl sound like a cheap floozy,, seems like another trail will be coming up soon for the of another young woman,, the man who has been charged with her murder also CLAIMS he had a relationship with the deceased. Its a shame that the deceased can not defend themselves,, the Dutch punishment is so weak , 12 years for taking a life,, phfffffffffffffftttt give them a 100 year sentence... By Judi | October 10, 2009 1:59 AM This is one of the things that I as a Dutch shame for the weak Dutch law. By Dutch | October 10, 2009 6:17 PM Hmmmnn... 15 years for rape and murder... by my calculations this mean i can go over the road to the neighbour who always gives me dirty looks, stamp on their foot as hard as i can and what?.. get two hours community service as punishment? Sounds like a bargain to me. How i love Dutch justice! By Guezen76 | October 11, 2009 2:17 PM
