Kevin Sweeney case
Kevin Sweeney is a British businessman convicted in 2001 in the Netherlands for the murder of his wife, Suzanne Davies by arson on 17 July 1995. The prosecution offered no motive for the alleged crime and Suzanne's life insurance policies were in trust for the children.
Sweeney was acquitted after a 1996 trial, but the prosecution appealed the verdict (the Dutch legal system permits appeal of acquittals). In May 2008 Sweeney made an application to the Dutch Supreme Court for a re-trial.〔( English translation of petition to "Hoge Raad" )〕 On 22 August 2008 he was released from jail after serving 7 and a half years of the original sentence of 13 and a half.〔( Website Justice for Kevin Sweeney )〕 In the Dutch situation, this is simply a normal early release (good behaviour, no danger to society).
==Case==
Kevin Sweeney and Suzanne Davies lived with their three children. They had recently bought a new house at Steensel, near Eindhoven in the Netherlands. On Monday, 17 July 1995, Sweeney had left Steensel at around 2 a.m. because one of his daughters, in the care of a nurse at the Sweeney's other home, was seriously ill. At about a quarter to three, the housekeeper and a policeman walked around the house in response to a report of an electrical failure by the recently installed burglar alarm. They noticed nothing, no one answered the door, and they were unable to enter the house since the doors were bolted from the inside. At 3:30 a.m., smoke and later fire was noticed coming from an upstairs bedroom window by neighbours and passers by. At 4:00 a.m., Sweeney arrived at his other home about 180 km from Steensel. At the same time, the fire brigade, police and ambulance arrived in Steensel. Davies was found in the dressing room next to her bedroom. The bedroom was full of smoke and a small fire was burning at the foot of the bed. She showed signs of life, but resuscitation attempts failed. Half an hour later she was pronounced dead. The cause of death was carbon monoxide poisoning.
