"In 2015, physiotherapist and skilled skydiving instructor, Victoria Cilliers, jumped from an airplane, just as she’d done numerous times before. During this jump, however, neither her parachute nor reserve chute deployed. She suffered a broken pelvis, ribs, two broken vertebrae, and internal injuries after a miraculous landing on a recently plowed field.
Six days earlier, with her children at home, Victoria smelled gas in the kitchen, before discovering a leak from a gas fitting in a cupboard. “Are you trying to bump me off?” Victoria jokingly texted her husband, Emile Cilliers, after finding it.
He was.
Emile was sentenced to life in prison for creating the gas leak and tampering with his wife’s parachute, two nearly successful murder attempts on Victoria. Investigators discovered Cilliers was in debt and wanted to use his wife’s life insurance to cover it. Yikes."
