The pediatrician from Bornholm

In September 2024, a Michigan circuit court judge issued a stunning $100 million default judgment against hip-hop mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs after he failed to appear at a hearing. The plaintiff was Derrick Lee Cardello-Smith, a 51-year-old inmate serving time for sexual assault and kidnapping, who claimed Combs had drugged and assaulted him at a 1997 Detroit-area afterparty. Days later, the judgment was vacated.

The Danish true-crime podcast Danske Drabssager has launched a special series called 'Kriminelle Kvinder' (Criminal Women) that investigates real cases of female murderers and violent offenders in Denmark, featuring interviews with law enforcement, forensic experts, and women who have served prison sentences for serious crimes.

On August 27, 1995, pediatrician Elisabeth Wæver traveled to the Danish island of Bornholm under a false identity with a calculated plan: to kill her lover's wife and two young children using stolen morphine and fire. The case remains one of Scandinavia's most shocking crimes of passion.
