Open Source developer, programmer and creator of the ReiserFS file system Hans Reiser has led the Oakland, California police force to the location of his wife’s body which he has been convicted of murdering.
Hans Reiser had already been convicted of the murder of Nina Reiser before the body had been recovered. Hans Reiser had previously denied any involvement in Nina Reiser’s disappearance, but after conviction and possible promise of a reduced sentence he disclosed the burial location in the 8200 block of Skyline Boulevard in the Redwood Regional Park in the Oakland Hills.
I remember originally coming across this story on Slashdot, where many of the members supported Hans Reiser’s claims of innocence. I guess that can be put to rest now. Hans Reiser is to be sentenced on Wednesday 9th July.
