News of a double homicide in Tulilahti was a shock to Finns in August 1959. Eine Nyyssönen and Riitta Pakkanen, two girls from Jyväskylä, were found two weeks after their disappearance, brutally murdeded and buried at the Tulilahti camp. The identity of the murdeder was never discovered, despite several arrests made during the investigation. This is an excellent account of the Tulilahti murder investigation and the funeral of Eine Nyyssönen and Riitta Pakkanen on August 29, 1959. (Tampere Film Festival)
