@atrialbypodcast: Hear the whole story in episodes 50 & 51 of A Trial by Podcast. In April 2015, Victoria Cilliers, an experienced skydiving instructor, survived a 4,000-foot fall when both her main and reserve parachutes failed during a jump in Wiltshire, England. Investigations revealed that her husband, Emile Cilliers, a British Army sergeant, had deliberately sabotaged her parachutes in an attempt to murder her and claim a £120,000 life insurance payout to alleviate his debts and start a new life with his mistress. This was his second attempt on her life; a week earlier, he had tampered with a gas valve at their home, hoping to cause an explosion. In 2018, Emile Cilliers was convicted of two counts of attempted m*r*er and sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 18 years. #survivor #truecrime #truecrimestory #truecrimestorytime #truecrimetok #redflag #toxicrelationship #storytime #skydiving #truecrimecommunity
