Synopsis
José Masschelin, a crime journalist, investigates the grim reality of intimate partner homicides in 'Moordzaken: Liefde is geen Alibi.' The documentary reconstructs eight cases where individuals killed their (ex-)partners, often fueled by jealousy or fear of abandonment. Interviews with relatives, lawyers, and psychologists reveal that many victims, primarily women, faced warning signs that were ignored. The film argues that love cannot justify these violent acts, as perpetrators frequently rationalize their behavior through claims of passion.
