The Fitting Room Murder

Sandra van Raalten is found dead in one of the fitting rooms of boutique Manouk on the Westzijde in Zaandam on 30 November 1984. She is bound hand and foot with strips of curtain and her mouth is gagged with a handkerchief. The first suspect is Zaandam bicycle shop owner Rob van Zaane. He hangs out with Sandra a lot and has a penchant for SM and thus tying up. He is convicted and yet later acquitted when two other suspects come into the picture: Kemal and his friend Sukrija. They were washing their bloodied hands in buckets of water on the Zaanse dike. But where are these men really? It is a nerve-wracking trial surrounding the innocent bicycle mechanic, who is given a 12-year prison sentence because of his friendship with Sandra and his penchant for SM.
