In 1994, ex-cop Marius van den Heever was convicted of three brutal murders, arson, and weapons theft. Sentenced to life, he spent decades behind bars—until 2018, when the High Court overturned his denied parole and set him free.

How does a convicted killer walk free? What changed?

In this episode of Profiler Africa, Paul Llewellyn and forensic psychologist Gerard Labuschagne break down the case. Gerard personally assessed van den Heever for parole in 2014, offering rare insight into a man who convinced the system he was no longer a threat.

We dissect the crimes, the parole process, and the psychology behind "rehabilitation."
