Anyone else read this?

Apparantly he lived in Amsterdam many years ago and a homeless person attacked him. He says he thumped him and he fell in a canal and possibly died. He kept quiet about it at the time but has now confessed all in his autobiography. So has been arrested!

So I'm thinking its all a load of bollocks and he was trying to make his book sound interesting. Or it happened. The police apparantly pulled 12 bodies out the canals that year so are trying to work out which body it is he killed.

If it was true why on earth confess to it in a book? Surely he would have thought the police would be interested?

I guess he will just tell the police he made it up and with no witness, no specific body and no forensics they won't have a hope in hell of making anything stick. It's all very odd.

Well none of this matters as presumably it's the law of the Netherlands which will decide

why would anyone want to read about his life anyway? What does he do apart from take part in a second rate quiz programme.
It's not even peak time and nobody would know who he was surely?
he must have been desperate for his 15 mins of fame and it's certainly back fired.

Couldn't agree more with those saying he probably made it up in an attempt to make himself sound interesting. It was my first thought

"Couldn't agree more with those saying he probably made it up in an attempt to make himself sound interesting"

And I imagine that will be his defence. Without witnesses, or a body, or the identity of the person he may (or may not) have killed, it will be very hard to pin this on him.
