Bridget Maasland became very emotional last night during the live broadcast of RTL Boulevard. Colleague Kees van der Spek put an arm around her. “It’ll come in, won’t it?”
The children of Peter R. de Vries made use of their right to speak in court yesterday. They addressed the gentlemen who are suspected of the murder of their father. The images were broadcast in the evening in RTL Boulevard, where Peter stood behind the desk for years, and that led to emotional reactions behind the desk.
Bridget in tears
Presenter Bridget Maasland in particular had a hard time. She couldn’t hold back her tears. “Yes, both children exercised their right to speak in a very powerful, beautiful, very emotional way.”
Colleague Kees van der Spek: “It will come in this, won’t it?”
Bridget: “It is of course very touching, also because images are now being added and the story and I thought it was a very emotional day today to see them sitting there like that and what was being said and done. You want to do something so badly and you can’t do anything, can you? You are so powerless. Whatever you said, with that reconstruction that you see him walking like this…”
‘Look behind you!’
The shocking images of Peter’s murder were shown in court. Kees: “You want to run after him and yell.”
Bridget: “Yes. Yes.”
Luuk Ikink: “And all those other days too. All those mocking days of walking around without anyone knowing. Then you see them already walking at that parking garage that Peter also enters and then nothing happens, but the fact that people are already paying attention. It’s all so grim.”
Love
Kees: “Look behind you, you think. But you know it won’t happen.”
Bridget: “You know what’s so special? That especially love predominates here in such a fierce case.”
Then Bridget breaks and Kees puts an arm around her.
