The first season of the journalistic docuseries De Villamoord was called 'stunning' and 'sensational' by TV critics. On the basis of interrogation tapes and their own research, the makers reconstructed the bizarre story behind the police investigation into the Arnhem murder case from 1998. Nine, mainly Turkish men, were convicted on the basis of a false confession. In this 3-part sequel, the investigation into this murder case is further unraveled. Criminals, prostitutes and cops tell what really happened behind the scenes at the police. How nine men had to disappear behind bars at all costs.
