Hello and welcome to this week's episode of our current series, Around the World, where we take some of the most intriguing cases from all over the world to delve into, discuss and attempt to make sense of.

This weeks episode takes us to South Africa in the 1990's. Moses Sithole has the dubious claim of being South Africa's most prolific serial killer or the South African Ted Bundy.

Between 1993-94 he murdered at least 38 women and raped many more. He was named the ABC killer as the murders began in Atteridgeville, continued to Boksburg and finished in Cleveland, all suburbs of the big cities of Johannesburg and Pretoria.

Against a backdrop of post-Apartheid South Africa, Moses Sithole caused a reign of fear and terror among the young women of the area and no could figure out why women were still happy to go off with him, even though all women were living in fear of becoming his next victim.

Once captured it became known that he duped women into thinking they were attending a job interview, and as he was dressed so smartly and was so charming they trusted him and sadly were never seen again.
