Welcome to the Episode 47 of Murder & Mayhem: South African True Crime.   About the episode: Imagine being so desperate to provide for your family and then being offered the opportunity you've been waiting for from someone who you know; someone who you should be able to trust.    Imagine embarking on a journey to start this chapter only to have those moments be your last and to never see the ones you love again. 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. A man who never showed one inkling of remorse for the heinous crimes he committed.  This is the case of the serial offender- Johan Jacobus Williams.   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 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. This is Chantelle Barnard'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.

A new job, an apartment of her own and her very first car were all achievements that she was so proud of. A man, so close to her, so loved by her, was watching her succeed during this time but instead of joy- resentment was building. Bitter at his own failings and unable to accept accountability for his behaviours, he did something so horrific that the small town of Clanwilliam would never forget. On that fateful day in October, the only mistake that this woman would make was trusting the wrong person. This is the heartbreaking case of Allison Plaatjies   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 Self-Defense Range: https://bellamonsoon.com/product-category/self-defense/ 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 29 of Murder & Mayhem: South African True Crime. About the episode: 8 years old, with dreams of becoming a lawyer or doctor forever extinguished as a result of one twisted man's actions. A man who was no stranger to the legal system. A man who was given far too many second chances. This little girl's death would spark outrage and once again bring to light the ever growing concerns of the leniency and judgement of South Africa's legal system. She was not his first victim; but she will hopefully be the last.   This is the story of a life cut short and a man too twisted to comprehend.

Welcome to the Episode 28 of Murder & Mayhem: South African True Crime. About the episode: A young girl is reported missing- snatched just metres away from the entrance of her school. A city is frantically searching for her, sharing her image on all media platforms.    That very same afternoon in another part of the city- a woman is making a cup of tea. She sits down on her couch, switches on the tv just as a familiar face flashes across the screen. The words ‘suspect' appear below the identikit of this rather unremarkable but yet recognisable face. The woman stifles a gasp and immediately reaches over for her phone. On the other end of the line- the police hear a female speaking and she says: “I saw the identikit and I think I know the man you're looking for”.   This is the story of the serial crimes of a callous and cruel man. This is the disturbing case of Jacobus Johannes Steyn.   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 Self-Defense Range: https://bellamonsoon.com/product-category/self-defense/ 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 27 of Murder & Mayhem: South African True Crime. About the episode: This case at first glance reads more like a strange movie plot. An axe wielding assailant striking at the dead of night. A narrative detailing a father's revenge for a monstrous crime committed against his daughter. And at the trial when this man is eventually caught- a plea of insanity; of diminished criminal capacity. And at the helm of it all, a former professional South African rugby player turned serial killer But this is not a movie script, this is real life. And this is the disturbing case of Phindile Joseph Ntshongwana.   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.

Welcome to the Episode 26 of Murder & Mayhem: South African True Crime. About the episode: Described as one of the most vile serial killers in South African history, this man committed the most heinous and disturbing acts over a period of years. He went undetected and it was only by sheer coincidence that he would eventually be discovered. With no remorse; no inhibitions; and no regrets- his victims suffered cruel and harsh deaths at his hands. He would also become an anomaly, one of the only known serial killers in history to end the life of his own flesh and blood.  This is the disturbing case of Stewart Wilken- known to many as Boetie Boer.

Welcome to the Episode 25 of Murder & Mayhem: South African True Crime. About the episode: If you've grown up believing that the boogie man looks a certain way; acts a certain way and is only found in certain places- you may be in for a nasty surprise when you discover the truth. Those with the deepest depths of darkness don't often look different to you or me. Those who commit the most atrocious acts often are the least suspecting people. So what do you do when you realise that evil can lurk within the people you trust to serve and protect? What do you do when you come face to face with pure darkness but it doesn't look the way you thought it would? How do you really spot a serial killer? This is the case of the unsuspecting predator and serial offender- Jacobus Petrus Geldenhuys.   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.

Welcome to the Episode 24 of Murder & Mayhem: South African True Crime. About the episode: What happens when a serial killer cannot be classified? What happens when a perpetrator seems to have no single Modus Operandi or victim profile? How do you even attempt to piece together a puzzle to catch the face behind the trail of destruction when you don't have all the pieces? Today, I will be discussing one such killer- a man who used five different methods of killing; a man who didn't pursue one type of victim; a man who remains a terrifying enigma. This is the case of one of the most cold-blooded serial killers South Africa has ever known- Cedric Maake.   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.

Welcome to the Episode 21 of Murder & Mayhem: South African True Crime. About the episode: A morning that began with such joy- winning prize money in a competition- turned into pure horror as two innocent souls lost their lives at the hands of someone they knew. Someone who was trusted by their family. For almost 3 years, the court case was postponed- time and time again and it seemed that justice would never be served.

And in April of 2006- two innocent men leaving a dinner party found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. With so much talent and such bright futures- these men lost their lives in a brutal and inconceivable manner. The culprits?

Welcome to the Episode 17 of Murder & Mayhem: South African True Crime. About the episode: In a country where gender rights have been legislated and same-sex marriage has been legal since 2006- making it the first African country to do so- here in South Africa we claim to have a constitutiion that protects against discrimination based on sexual orientation. But the hate crime statistics and cases paint a different picture. Although Cape Town is seen and recognized as a city that embraces all members of society no matter their orientation- just a 15 minute drive out of the city- everything changes. Here, in Khayelitsha- being your true self is dangerous and sometimes deadly. It was the case for one woman- in the prime of her life with so much more living to do. Her life was tragically and violently ended- for no reason other than pure contempt and hatred.
