Referring to Dutroux and the book by Douglas De Coninck. The book "30 Témoins Morts" (original title: "Dode Getuigen" (Dead Witnesses")) by investigative journalist Douglas De Coninck concerns thirty people who played a role in or around the investigation into Marc Dutroux, but who died before or during the trial under suspicious or remarkable circumstances. De Coninck originally began his investigation with a list of 18 people, but this list eventually grew to thirty witnesses who could no longer speak at the trial.
The thirty witnesses referred to in the book are the persons mentioned above.
