About this episode

The episode discusses the violent crimes committed by a gang in the Western Cape, focusing on the investigation that revealed the identities of the perpetrators.

Over a period of four months Gugulethu, Nyanga and Delft in the Western Cape, were terrorised by a violent and coldblooded gang. Among the victims was an entire family slain in their beds as they slept. When a seasoned investigator was put on the case, he started to make progress almost immediately, and soon realised that rather than a highly organised group of criminals, these crimes were being committed by two specific individuals with the occasional addition of random cohorts. Of those two, one would become the youngest offender to receive the longest sentence ever handed down in the Western Cape. - 24-hr trauma helpline 082-821-3447 - Support the show on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/truecrimesa - Support the show on PayPal https://www.paypal.me/truecrimesa - Get TCSA and General True Crime Merch on https://sacriminologist.co.za/shop/ 10% off with code TCSA sitewide - Disclaimer voiceover: Karabo Peter - Production of intro and outro music: Botshelo Moekeletsi at the VOW 88.1 studios and produced solely for the use of True Crime South Africa Instagram · Pinterest · Facebook · YouTube · Twitter · LinkedIn
