Description
Retired senior advocate Chris Marnewick's fascinating investigation of a crime case that, 60 years after the event, still poses unanswered questions.
In 1956, Clarence van Buuren was found guilty of the murder of Myrna Joy Aken and executed - despite insisting on his innocence right until the end. And despite evidence proclaiming that Van Buuren was a narcissistic psychopath and a sadist, women queued to attend his trial. What secret did Van Buuren take with him to the grave? Fifty years after the events, Chris Marnewick tries to solve this mystery.
