On a single night in 1990, three innocent people lost their lives to a crime spree by a 19-year-old soldier. When his past and the workings of his mind were examined, though, some would question whether it should have been much of a surprise to anyone that he ended up where he did. - 24-hr trauma helpline 082-821-3447 - Support the show on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/truecrimesa - Support the show on PayBru https://paybru.co.za/communities/true-crime-south-africa - Get TCSA and General True Crime Merch on https://sacriminologist.co.za/shop/ 10% off with code TCSA sitewide - The disclaimer voiceover was done by Karabo Peter at the VOW 88.1 studios Instagram · Pinterest · Facebook · YouTube · Twitter · LinkedIn
