Det har sikkert været skik at lade grove misdædere bøde med livet længe før nogen havde udformet ideer om forbrydelser og straf og længe før, at love, rettergang og offentlige myndigheder var kommet til eksistens.

At enhver rimelig tvivl skal komme den eller de tiltalte til gode er en af hjørnestenene i strafferetsplejen i vor del af verden. Netop denne fundamentale ting søgte to vesttyskere at udnytte, idet de hver for sig og i hvert sit land tilstod den samme forbrydelse.

Tre gange forsøgte han at dræbe forskellige vogtere i fængslet. Til sidst fik han sit største ønske, at blive dømt til døden, opfyldt.

En enligtboende, velhavende ældre frøken, på egnen kalder "Millionær-Christine", forsvandt sporløst fra sit hjem beliggende i et landsbymiljø.

Hvad fik en 27-årig tidligere helt ustraffet mand til at begå et af de hidtil groveste røverier i Odense, hvor han i omkring 2 timer holdt flere forskellige personer som gidsler, og hvad fik hans venner til efter røveriet aktivt at hjælpe ham med at sikre udbyttet og slette sporene? Vi vil her berette om vanskelighederne ved at opklare en sag, hvor en hel række personer bevidst forsøgte at vildlede politiet, men hvor et stædigt efterforskningsarbejde til sidst førte til sagens opklaring.

Ved halvtitiden om morgenen den 4. februar 1985 blev en pengetransport udsat for røveri af særlig farlig karakter ud for posthuset på Bagsværd Torv nord for København. Udbyttet blev på kr. 6.669.000,00, heraf kr. 2.590.881,00 i kontanter.
