A Dutch writer, going by the unlikely name of Richard Klinkhamer (something like Richard Sledgehammer) murdered his wife with a crowbar in january 1991, and buried her remains under a garden shed.
Her corpse was discovered in 2000 by neighbours and Klinkhamer confessed to the crime.
Even before the corpse was found (!), Klinkhamer wrote a book about the murder case with a title which rougly translates as "Wednesday Minced Meat Day" (like 'Fish on friday'). Klinkhamer was unable to find a publisher until recently; the book is to come out in the next few months.
Though I've never read any book by Klinkhamer, he is supposedly influenced by Louis-Ferdinand Céline.
NBC programme Dateline made a documentary about Klinkhamer in the spring of 2000; in the same year an excerpt from Woendag Gehaktdag was published in People.
