Saevar, Kristjan, Tryggvi and Albert are held in custody for Gugmundur’s murder. ibid. caption
Four more suspects known as the Club Men are arrested; now there are eight in custody. ibid.
There was so much pressure on authorities to convict all of us. ibid. woman
All six had now confessed to their involvement in the two murders. After an investigation which had lasted more than a year, there was however no physical evidence, and the suspects’ memories were hazy. Yet they had all told police and signed statements that, yes, they had either killed Geirfinnur and Gudmundur or helped dispose of their bodies.
... Several of the suspects now began trying to retract their confessions saying they had been pressured into signing statements they knew weren’t true. Investigators dismissed these claims, as did the court; sometimes because the attempted retractions had come too late or, as in Saevar’s case, because the head investigator told the court ‘I know better.’
… Then there was the mental torture – being deprived of everything, kept awake all night, not allowed to sleep.
Forty years on, this still haunts Hlynur who is ashamed of what went on inside the prison walls. ‘I think most people here believe we live in a civilised country, that we are a civilised nation. We want to trust justice but that failed.’ BBC online article Simon Cox 15th May 2014, ‘The Reykjavik Confessions: The mystery of why six people admitted roles in two murders – when they couldn’t remember anything about the crimes’

When he peered through the windows of the cab he couldn’t believe what he saw: the face of a petrified woman chained up like an animal. He immediately handcuffed the cab driver and put him into his patrol car. Michael didn’t know it yet but he’d apprehended a cold-blooded serial killer: Robert Ben Rhodes. For over a decade Rhodes had been raping, torturing and killing vulnerable women across the country, but he had remained completely undetected.

Rhodes had an uncontrollable sexual appetite. Working as a long-distance truck driver presented him with the perfect opportunity to act out his aggressive sexual perversions on strangers he had met on the road with or without their consent. ibid.
