Live Premier Date: 9 Jan 8pm CAT. In 2015, the brutal and highly publicized murder of Gabriela Kabrins Alban shocked both South Africa and the international community. Gabriela, a successful marketing executive from California, was found dead in a Cape Town hotel room under circumstances that were as bizarre as they were horrific. Her boyfriend, Diego Novella, a wealthy Guatemalan national with a history of drug use, was later convicted of her murder.

This week on Profiler Africa, forensic psychologist Gerard Labuschagne discusses the complexities of the case, exploring the toxic dynamics of Gabriela and Diego’s relationship and the psychological factors at play in the events leading up to her death.
