In a small farming community- this was the reality for those who found themselves victims to a man who violated their trust. A man who stole so much more than their lives.

Welcome to the Episode 47 of Murder & Mayhem: South African True Crime.   About the episode: Imagine your life is just beginning, you have big plans for the future and a spirit yearning for adventure. Only to have it all stolen in the blink of an eye. In the coastal city of Durban in Kwa-Zulu Natal, a grim tale of tragedy unfolded in January of 2018. A 20 year old woman with her whole life ahead of her was kidnapped, her body later discovered burnt almost beyond recognition. The paths of many would intersect as the chilling events that followed gripped the nation- uncovering a sinister never ending interconnected web of secrets and lies. As private investigators unravelled the mystery of the events leading uptown her death, a story of obsession, deception and a history and pattern of disturbing behaviour would come to light. Although many truths would be uncovered, some questions would still remain up in the air, even to this day. This is a journey into the light that was this girl and the darkness that stole her from this world. This is the story of an enduring and exhausting battle for truth and justice. This is the story of a girl who loved deeply, lived authentically and embraced life in every way of form.  This is Siam Lee's story.   For images, sources and real footage of the individuals and the case mentioned, please visit my Youtube Channel- Bella Monsoon where this case has been covered in video format HERE.   SHOP the South African Truly Criminal Colouring Book: https://shop.bellamonsoon.com/collections/books   Mental Health Resources: If you are feeling triggered by any of the content within this podcast please reach out and speak to someone.

Welcome to the Episode 45 of Murder & Mayhem: South African True Crime.   About the episode: Just a few days before she would turn 21, a young girl with everything ahead of her would have her life stolen when what should have been a simple errand turned into a nightmare.    For months prior to her demise, little did she know that she was being watched, being obsessed over- her existence the very object of another's desires. Although it seemed like the case was straightforward, it would take almost a decade for any form of justice to be received. A perpetrator who made Interpol's most wanted list; an international 9 year long manhunt; and a grieving family who longed for some form of closure.   This is the unbelievable story of a family's fight for justice.

A young girl had her life stolen by individuals she knew and had even grown up with. As the court case dragged on, the quest for justice turned into a long and arduous battle.

But the hate crime statistics and cases paint a different picture.
