In the Finnish murder case of Anneli Auer who is suspected to have killed her husband on Dec. 1 2006 at their home in Ulvila (south-west Finland), who had been arrested only two years later after the murder incident, whose eventual life sentence but had been revoked by the higher court a few years later, but who a few months later that same year was indicted and imprisoned again for other issues, too, such as for sex with minors but also again for murdering her husband, now the lower court, to which the case meanwhile has been returned to, comes to evaluate the statements of the suspect's four children who had been present at the time when the killing took place:

According to second eldest child, a boy who was seven years old at the time of the incident, who says he had overheard the happenings in the night when the killing took place behind the door of his room, Anneli Auer had planned the murdering already in the summer of 2006. His mother, he claims, had constructed a shield out of wood, to which she attached a brown towel. According to the prosecutor the shield was used to protect the clothes against being splashed by the blood spill.

Mrs. Auer also practiced the murdering a few days before the eventual incident. The boy told he had spotted that rehearsal peeping through his door.

The eldest child denies the recounts of the other siblings, stating that the killer of their father had been an intruder from outside.

The court will now have to decide on the credibility of the stories of the children...
