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.

About the episode:

In a beautiful Marina side neighbourhood boasting views of the mountain range, access to a sparkling expanse of water and just minutes away from the ocean- Marina Da Gama exists. This neighbourhood boasts many beautiful homes with stunning views and a wonderful atmosphere. 

Families who can afford it, have chosen to make this area their home- taking evening walks along the vlei and having afternoon sundowners as the sun sets behind the mountains.

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.

Although the 18 year old girl who was killed had her life come to a tragic end, her dream of being well-known one day by many would be manifested into reality, just not in the way she had ever imagined or hoped.

Welcome to the Episode 16 of Murder & Mayhem: South African True Crime.

About the episode:

From humble beginnings to competing and dancing in shows across the globe; one individual’s journey inspired and brought hope to so many others.

Aiming to bring light and safety to the plight of so many in a community often stigmatised, abused and isolated- one individual did all they could to share a narrative of equality, respect and love whilst empowering the impoverished community they came from.

And quite ironically it was this same community that would lead to their tragic and untimely demise right in the middle of a month that is dedicated to raising awareness for the LGBTQI+ community.

This is the case of Kirvan Fortuin.

Welcome to the Episode 15 of Murder & Mayhem: South African True Crime.

About the episode:

In a world where at times those of a bygone generation may be forgotten, one man saw a window of opportunity to wreak havoc on one of the most vulnerable populations- the elderly. 

Whereas to society- a grandmother is someone full of warmth, kindness and love- to this man, they were just soft, easy targets. 

His oldest victim- an elderly woman of 93 years old, left for dead. All were attacked within their homes; within their safe spaces. Their only mistake? Offering kindness to a stranger.
