In this week’s True Crime South Africa Spotlight minisode we discuss the scourge of gender-based violence and do a deep dive into some interesting information that emerged during the pre-sentencing hearing of the last three Electus per Deus members. Zak Valentine, Cecilia Steyn and Marcel Steyn were found guilty of a range of charges emanating from a murder, robbery and fraud spree between 2012 and 2016 in which 11 people lost their lives.
We covered the so-called Krugersdorp Killers in Episode 4 of True Crime South Africa.
The TCSA: Spotlight minisode series covers true crime cases which are currently in the media and provides updates on cases we have covered in our full episodes.
