Reeva Steenkamp was shot dead by boyfriend and Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius on February 14, 2013.

Pistorius claimed he mistook her for an intruder, but the incident raised significant issues about domestic violence and justice. Initially convicted of culpable homicide, he was later sentenced to over 13 years for murder after appeals.

The case highlighted the complexities of high-profile legal proceedings in South Africa.

The Ulvila homicide occurred in Ulvila, Finland, on December 1, 2006. The victim was a 51-year-old Jukka S. Lahti, a social psychologist and father of four.

Initially, the police were looking for an outside perpetrator, but in September 2009, the victim's widow Anneli Auer was arrested and charged with the murder.

She was twice convicted in the district court, but both times the appeals court reversed the verdict, and finally in December 2015, the acquittal became permanent, when the Supreme Court of Finland denied the prosecution's appeal.
