Season 01: Murder Most Foul
Episode 01: The ABC Killer
In the early nineties, South African authorities, overrun by Serial Killers in the wake of apartheid's collapse, were faced with one particular Serial Killer competing to be more prolific than most in their radar.
The victims of the Killer, all female. They were lured to outlying fields where they were beaten, stripped, raped, and strangled with articles of their own clothing. Some were found with their hands tied behind their backs. Others blindfolded. Many were left with pieces of clothing draped across their faces as if to prevent them from staring at the face of their killer as they die.
The serial rapist and serial killer responsible for the ABC Murders (so-called because they largely took place in Atteridgeville, Boksburg and Cleveland suburbs of Johannesburg), committed 38 murders, 40 rapes and six robberies between 1994 and 1995 in Gauteng, South Africa.
