Finnish Traitors Finale Postponed Indefinitely After Murder

The Finnish version of 'The Traitors' has indefinitely postponed its season finale following the tragic murder of contestant Janne Puhakka, Finland's first openly gay ice hockey player. Puhakka, 29, was allegedly shot dead by his 66-year-old ex-partner, Rolf Nordmo, at their former shared residence in Espoo after their relationship ended. Nordmo, who has reportedly confessed to the murder using a hunting shotgun, is in police custody facing charges that may include premeditation due to the crime's brutality. The network airing the show, Nelonen, announced the postponement, expressing condolences to Puhakka's loved ones and stating that airing the episode was not appropriate at this time. The incident has prompted tributes from figures such as former Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin and the Finnish ice hockey league, acknowledging Puhakka's role as a social pioneer in sports. The decision to delay airing the episode has been supported by fans, with suggestions to eventually air it as a tribute to Puhakka.
