Police deepfake video shows teen asking the public to help solve his 2003 murder: "Do you know more? Then speak"

Dutch police on Monday said they had received dozens of leads after using deepfake technology to bring to life a teenager to appeal for witnesses almost two decades after his murder.

Sedar Soares was shot dead in 2003 while throwing snowballs with friends in the parking lot of a Rotterdam metro station.

The 13-year-old's murder baffled police for years, who now, with the permission of Soares' family, made a video in which the teen asks the public to help solve his cold-case crime.
