Thank you, as always, to @goed.gedaan for his excellent editing.
PS - If you're wondering why my videos will always be in English, the answer is simple: more people in the world speak English than Dutch. I want this channel to be accessible and understandable for as many people as possible.

Jovie, are they just handing out 'audacity' for free in the streets over there??? 🤌😟😳🤦♀️
That commercial took forever.
Completely forgot about this but now that you mention it.. gruesome horrible vicious and what a monster!
It's intense! Thanks for watching!
@@JoviesHome Always watch your vids and like them. Fun to see how an expat views our country and its ways
I was excited to see a new video from you. I’m missing the more frequent videos, and hope life will allow you to create more often. :)
Thank you, that's so nice to hear!
I love these! Thank you for bringing it back 🙌🏽
Glad you like them! That's really great to hear!
What a story Jovie! I was stuck to the chair while listening! regards Sab Cole
I'm glad it was so riveting for you!
@@JoviesHome Indeed it was! Love your work.Sab Cole
I love these Dutch True Crime stories
I'm so glad- I really love sharing them!
Even after 15+ years with the Dutch prosection service, this case still ranks as one of the most bizarre.
It is indeed bizarre!
Yes, the guy was/is very notorious in The Netherlands. The story was often published in Dutch Media. But thanks to you the online world knows this story too now…
“Door de mazen van de wet geglipt”
That’s how I think about this sad story. Good Dutch sentence to learn Jovie.
Hi Jovie what have you done to youre theet? i want mine straighter but i dont want big braces or get fake ones
I got this thing called Invisalign.
@@JoviesHome thank you never heard of it but i looked it up and it looks good!
There is another side to this story which Jovie didn't cover: the police investigations.
In the period when the Klinkhamer killing happened, there was an unusually high number of murders and disappearances of women in the province of Groningen. The police in the region was unprepared to deal with all of those investigations at the same time and if I recall correctly they didn't solve any of those cases initially. Ever since Klinkhamer's wife dissappeared, there were rumours and accusations, followed by new fruitless efforts by the police to investigate. It was the same with the other cases. The continued media attention resulted in many tips and stories the police needed to investigate. Many of those turned out to be wild goose chases. As a result, the investigations were probably not as thorough as they would have been, if this had been the only case at the time. This goes a long way to explain why the court case was mainly based on Klinkhamer's confession. That inevitably resulted in a manslaugter conviction with a relatively short prison sentence.
Many of those cases have been solved since then, due to the formation of a cold case team and to more advanced forensic methods. Jovie could make a video about "het beest van Harkstede" Willem van Eijk, who was a real serial killer. His victims seem to have been drug addicted prostitutes, but with serial killers you can never be sure that there aren't more cases. Also, there was the murder of a student besides the railway tracks of the Groningen Noord station by a different perpetrator. That case became notorious because the police and the prosecutors spent a long time prosecuting the wrong person. That was obvious to many people, just not to the police and the prosecutor. A few years later, the actual killer was found due to a DNA match from a different case. And recently, a case of a woman who was found beaten to death in her home back then was finally solved, also due to a DNA match.
And this was all very close to where I grew up.
Have seen the house where they lived.
Wow, it must be pretty famous over there. Thanks for sharing!
@@JoviesHome you don’t hear much about it anymore and it’s a very small village where it happened.
About 200 people living there. I’m from winschoten, where she used to work.
It’s 12 km apart from each other.
Doe dit niet Jody. ER zijn betere kanalen hier voor.
The name is Klinkhamer, not Klinkhammer. Nice story by the way I had sort of forgotten it!
I didn’t know that
That's dark. And still I watched it all....
It just sucks you in, doesn't it?
What a brutal story
It really is!
Wat een bizar verhaal. Ongelofelijk. 😱
I always thought Netherlands was a safe place I've learnt it's not, you sound like I did when I first had a bridge I had a lisp for days until my mouth was used to having the bridge.
Don't be surprised by our justal system. A lot of Dutch are also unsatisfied with the low kind of punishments here. You made a good story Jovie, most of us knew that story allready but not all the details like you seem to do.
I really enjoy researching and finding all the details about things like this. Thanks for watching!
We hate you. As simple as that. 😂 Just kidding of course. 😂 Oh god what a story, at the end I realized I was hardly breathing, 😂 BUT - you are such an amazing storyteller!
Jovie, do you like music witch is made bij dutch artist. For example, Og3ne, Davina Michelle, Trijntje Oosterhuis and so on, and so on. If you like this, maybe you can make a video about this subject.
Can anyone give me recommendations on dutch YT channels? I'm looking for true crime ou daily life content to train my dutch vocabulary and luisteren! Dank u wel 😘
Austria was part of Nazi Germany from March 12, 1938 (Anschluss) to April 27, 1945. Those Polish employees (5:00) were slave laborers and surely prisoners of a neighboring Nazi concentration camp and were rented by their Austrian "employers" from that concentration camp to support the war effort. The goal of the Nazi's was to completely destroy the Polish people, as well as many other Slavic peoples. So the Polish slave laborers were treated extremly badly. The Russian Red Army invaded Austria by force. The Russian soldiers took revenge for the Nazi atrocities committed to Russian cilvilians and soldiers, they also did that in Germany. The uncle was thrown into jail, probably because he was a Nazi official.The other Allies did arrive in Austria less than a month later. Until 1955 Austria was devided into four Allied Occupation Sectors like Germany was.
Dutch true crime???? YESSSSSSS!!! (Do Anne Faber next!)
This is a very resent crime. I don´t know how this girls family would like it. It it disgusts me that you just trow out names on the internet like this and seem excited about it..
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
@@Esther-ie3gr i think it’s very good for someone to shed light on dutch crime cases as, no matter how small the country, names and stories of victims shouldn’t be forgotten. So yes, i am happy that someone is bringing awareness and that it’s Jovie since she comes across as super respectful. Go bring your internet drama somewhere else thank you!
What I think is that the 'good behaviour' part sould be taken out of the system. You did a crime you got centenced for set time, you sit it out.
It was taken out recently. Before you were automatically released for good behaviour after you served 2/3 of the sentence. That is now reduced to a maximum of 2 years and I think that you now have to earn it with actual good behaviour.
@@gert-janvanderlee5307 Still if you kill someone and get for instance 10 years. It should be 10 and not 7. Good behavior or not. You disobeyed the law and got a punishment end of story. See what is happening with sexoffenders. They get 2 years for 'doing things' (youtube doesn't want me to type it) with minors and they walk out 7-8 months later. It is rediculous. Mind you 2 years is way to short for it too. But that is a whole nother discussion.
@@lindaraterink6451 10 Isn't 7 anymore. Like I explained before, they changed that recently. It might become 8 but that has to be earned with good behaviour.
And I do believe that's a good thing. Giving prisoners a reason that motivates them to improve their behaviour before release into society.
And people who do things with minors usually get tbs too. The prison sentence is only a part of their punishment. Tbs means that after prison they will start treatment in a special psychiatric facility that will take years before they are allowed into society again. If that ever happens. As many of those never get released from tbs. But you don't hear about those on the news.

Woensdag gehaktdag… 😳
I personally knew the man. He never killed her. He just wrote the gossips of sensation seekers from his village. His wife wanted to be burried in her own garden. Which is illegal. But he did that anyway. That's all. Boring isn't it?
not a lawyer but, there is something of a law in the Netherlands that prohibits the financial gain from a criminal act, so writing a book about the murder of your wife would result in that the proceeds of the sales from such book would be confiscated by the government.
Perhaps that happened and perhaps a person more knowledgeable about the dutch law could expand on this
The Klinkhamer case predated the expansion of that law; maybe the "indirect" income from the so-called "hypothetical" description of the murder in the book didn't fall under the earlier version of that law? That law is no more than a few decades old (IIRC it started somewhere in the 1990s) and was expanded in 2013.
That's really interesting, thanks for sharing!
The much younger girlfriend is a cartoonist.
That's interesting, thanks for sharing.
Hello Jovie you have made a weird spelling mistake in the title of your video. His name is (Richard) Klinkhamer not Klinkhammer. You changed this Dutch name into an an American name by misspelling it the way you did...
I find your interest in such stories disturbing.
I think Richard should have been sentenced to 50 years for murder. However, the judge should have reduced that by 10 years to allow for the trauma Richard suffered while growing up. Thus he should have served 40 years in prison. The government should also have taken back the widower's pension.
Yes, there's no way he should have been collecting that pension!
@@JoviesHome Thank you.
Richard Klinkhamer niet hammer. Een beetje slissen klinkt wel lief
1 of the down side of the netherlands I think live long have to be live long not 50 year
If you mean to say that a life sentence should mean that you spend the rest of your life in prison, then that actually is the case in the Netherlands. Because of European law they now had to add the option to ask for early release after a certain number of years, but in reality that has never happened yet.
@@gert-janvanderlee5307 serious! I thought that they had max 50 years than had my mother tel me wrong info about it
@@emilybakker3742 Nope, life is life here. With maybe the exception for early release if you are terminally ill and only have weeks or days to live. The Netherlands actually has one of the toughest regimes when it comes to life sentences. With several international human rights organisations calling it unnecessary cruel because there's practically no chance of ever getting out again. Officially they can ask the king for a grace/gratie but that has never happened.
7:28 I'm now wondering how your own marriage is doing?
I knew about the shaving of the heads of Dutch women who dated germans but I didn't know they called it an ugly carnival.
I meant that sentence is a sarcastic kind of way! 😂
