The official story was that convicted rapist and murderer Thabo Bester died in a South African prison fire on May 3, 2022, but the truth was far more shocking: he had faked his own death with a stolen corpse and easily walked out of a maximum security prison. Known as "The Facebook Rapist" for luring women with fake international modeling opportunities, Bester was serving a 30-year sentence for the rape and robbery of two women and the murder of his girlfriend, Nomfundo Tyhulu, in 2011. In this episode, we unravel the chaotic details of his escape and his life on the run: The Fake Death: An investigation into the cell fire and the burned remains raised immediate suspicion. The body used to stage his death was later confirmed to have died before the fire from blunt force trauma to the head, and DNA did not match Bester .  The Accomplice: Dr. Nandipha Magudumana (Dr. Nandi): Celebrity physician Dr. Nandi, who claimed to be Bester's customary law wife, was his essential partner in crime. She initially collected the body and was later spotted shopping with Bester, aiding his life as a fugitive. She is a glamorous doctor who had it all, but chose a criminal life as a "cold-blooded accomplice". Life as a Fugitive: Before his escape was confirmed, Bester was running multiple scam companies from prison. After walking out, he continued his fraudulent schemes with Dr. Nandi, meeting clients and living in a rented mansion until their arrest in Tanzania in April 2023.  This incredible true crime saga is also the subject of the Netflix docuseries, Beauty and the Bester.   Thank you to this week's sponsors!

Due to a huge number of requests following a new Netflix doc on Thabo Bester, we're re-releasing our 2023 episode on the shocking, shameless, madder-than-fiction South African saga.--At 2am, on the 3rd of May 2022 – inmates at Mangaung prison in Bloemfontein, South Africa, were woken up by an explosion. Word spread that Thabo Bester, the infamous “Facebook Rapist”, had set himself and his cell on fire. And all that remained after the dramatic blaze were a lighter, and a body, burnt beyond recognition. But that's far from the end of the story. With daily revelations from the trial still hitting headlines, expect a farcical morgue-robbing scheme, a massive-scale web of fraud conducted from inside a prison cell, and a glamorous celebrity doctor who's not quite what she seems.--Exclusive bonus content:Wondery - Ad-free & ShortHandPatreon - Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesFollow us on social media:YouTubeTikTokInstagramVisit our website:WebsiteSources available on redhandedpodcast.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Pretoria High Court has dismissed an urgent bid by Thabo Bester and Dr. Nandipha Magudumana to block the airing of Netflix's explosive documentary Beauty and the Bester. Judge Sulet Potterill ruled the application was not urgent and struck it off the roll, ordering both applicants to pay legal costs. The documentary, which delves into the alleged notorious prison escape and scandal surrounding the pair, will now go ahead as scheduled. Reacting to the judgement Attorney representing Thabo Bester Courage Morero say they are disappointed by the Pretoria High Court's decision to dismiss their urgent bid to halt Netflix's Beauty and the Bester documentary. Morero speaking to SABC reporter Chriselda Lewis had this to say

Ntsalintshali says the department submitted key documents all within the stipulated deadlines.

Amptenare van die Departement van Korrektiewe Dienste het ʼn verrassingsbesoek aan die Mangaung Korrektiewe Sentrum in Bloemfontein gebring. Dit volg na die bekendstelling van Operasie Vala om in die feestyd veiligheid, sekerheid en nakoming by gevangenisse te verbeter. Die tronk wat is waar die veroordeelde moordenaar en verkragter, Thabo Bester, in 2022 ontsnap het. Die departement se nasionale kommissaris, Makgothi Thobakgale, sê hulle het tydens die deursoeking verskeie smokkelware, selfone en geld gevind:

Die regsverteenwoordiger van die veroordeelde moordenaar en Facebook-verkragter, Thabo Bester, gaan die Departement van Korrektiewe Dienste uitdaag oor sy behandeling in die tronk. Bester beweer sy regte word aangetas weens 'n gebrek aan privaat samesprekings met sy prokureur en omdat hy in eensame aanhouding is. Sy prokureur Dinana Reid het aan eNCA gesê Bester se reg op 'n regverdige verhoor word in gevaar gestel.

Die Hooggeregshof in Bloemfontein het 'n lasbrief uitgereik vir die inhegtenisneming van beskuldigde nommer vier in die Thabo Bester-tronkontsnappingsaak. Die voorverhoor is vandag hervat, na 'n vorige uitstel om van die beskuldigdes toe te laat om nuwe regsverteenwoordiging te kry. Die adjunkregterpresident, Cagney Musi, sê die verhoor is geskeduleer vir 10 Februarie volgende jaar en sal tot die einde van die termyn voorduur.

Thabo Bester and 8 co-accused are back in the High Court in Bloemfontein for a pre-trial for the rapist and murderer's escape. Carmen Reddy shares an update: Webpage

Die veroordeelde Facebook-moordenaar, Thabo Bester, het die Hooggeregshof in Bloemfontein versoek om sy doodsvonnis te beveel en om sy medebeskuldigdes vry te laat. Bester het tydens 'n uitbarsting beweer die regstelsel behandel hom onregverdig. Bester, sy voormalige minnares, Nandipha Magudumana, en sewe ander staan ​​tereg op aanklagte van onder meer bedrog en die skending van 'n liggaam. Bester se prokureur, Mohamed Siedat, het intussen onttrek weens probleme met raadpleging. Bester beweer politieke inmenging beheer die hofverrigtinge.

C'est une affaire qui a agité tout un pays, à l'automne dernier. Le 7 avril, la paisible cavale de Thabo Bester, un criminel sud-africain de 37 ans, prend fin. Cet homme, condamné en 2012 à la prison à perpétuité pour le meurtre de sa petite amie, avait réussi à s'échapper un an plus tôt d'une des prisons les plus sécurisées d'Afrique du Sud.Aidé de sa complice, une médecin qui joue les starlettes sur les réseaux sociaux, le criminel avait fait croire aux autorités qu'il s'était suicidé en mettant le feu à sa cellule. Alors que tout le monde le croyait mort, Thabo Bester menait la grande vie dans un quartier cossu de Johannesburg, dans une villa à deux pas de la résidence du chef de l'Etat. Cette incroyable évasion n'aurait pas été possible sans le niveau de corruption très élevé dans le pays.Ariane Riou, journaliste à la cellule récits du Parisien, a consacré cet été une série d'articles à cette affaire.

With daily revelations from the trial still hitting headlines, expect a farcical morgue-robbing scheme, a massive-scale web of fraud conducted from inside a prison cell, and a glamorous celebrity doctor who's not quite what she seems.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
