There was little direct evidence that Cilliers had tampered with the parachute of his wife, Victoria.There was no CCTV nor DNA.And Victoria did not support the investigation into her husband.A new docudrama about the case is being broadcast in the UK. To coincide with this, Paul has given this new interview to Behind the Crimes to discuss how he built the case, the challenges of Victoria becoming a hostile witness, how dangerous Cilliers is - and the long-term impact of the inquiry on everyone.And it is now the subject of a brilliant three-part docudrama, made by Story Films for Channel4 in the UK:https://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-fall-skydive-murder-plot/on-demand/75275-002Victoria has written her own account too.If you are impacted by issues raised in this interview, please read more here: https://refuge.org.uk/i-need-help-now/coercive-control/https://www.womensaid.org.uk/information-support/what-is-domestic-abuse/coercive-control/https://survivingeconomicabuse.org/i-need-help/ This is a public episode.
