The Railway killer, Themba Vilakazi, aka 666. He was sentenced to 2 x 18yrs and 1 x life imprisonement for pleading guilty to 3 of the crimes. The story of how he was finally caught is quite something…so take a listen. And don’t agree to go anywhere with someone who has 666 tattooed on their forehead…just saying! Link in bio.

We’re back with an incredible episode in which we speak to Colonel Tollie Vreugdenburg (who retires on 31 Dec). What an incredible career and service to South Africa he has provided. Today we meet the man who heads SA’s counter terrorism efforts, and get into a fascinating serial murder case, and then the story of ‘Die Boeremag’. This episode is gonna blow your mind. Why did the specialist units close, how close did Mandela come to being killed, and how do you stop a bomb twice the size of the Oklahoma City device??? Fascinating stuff (hope it makes up for skipping last week 🤫). Enjoy and Happy New Year!!! https://open.spotify.com/episode/6Ke8grKqt1nrNwGJi1bzoi?si=0a001ea846904b15

In Newcastle, a town between Joburg and Durban in South Africa, in 2004, four men are murdered over the period of a year. All are killed in or around the exercise park bordering the town. Two of the incidents take place when the killer interrupts young couples engaging in romantic activities. He r**es the woman in each case, but he lets them live. The murders are brutal and the killer leaves little evidence. How will police eventually catch this incredibly dangerous murderer? https://youtu.be/UCYLugRs8Sw

Comment from the Judge in relation to the case of the serial murderer JACK MOGALE. “In the very unlikely situation where the Correctional Services Department may contemplate releasing the accused on parole in the future, it is the recommendation of this Court, because of the complete absence of any remorse or recognition of wrongdoing, and in my opinion, there is little prospect of rehabilitation or reformation, that the accused should remain in custody for the remainder of his natural life and should never be released from prison” Judge Kgomo, Presiding Officer.

PROFILING AFRICA’S KILLERS

Profiler is a weekly discussion between: former Head of Forensic Psychology at the South African Police Service, Gerard Labuschagne, who worked on over 300 serial murder and r**e cases in his career; journalist Paul Llewellyn; and guests. We explore how South Africa’s forensic investigation unit, has tracked and captured some of our most dangerous and sadistic criminals. Discover in detail how a serious violent crime is investigated; learn about the psychology that drives people to evil deeds; and walk in the footsteps of the killers, as we tell their stories.
