Introducing...World of Secrets: The Apartheid Killer

Author: True Crime Couple August 19, 2024 Duration: 5:16
Introducing a NEW investigation from the BBC’s World of Secrets podcast: The Apartheid Killer.

All the victims were black and the youngest was just 12 years old. Some relatives are still searching for the graves. They were killed during a three-year bloodbath in the 1980s, in the South African city of East London – by one person. He killed so many, he lost count. It has been 30 years since the white supremacist apartheid regime crumbled. The unresolved trauma of this time has cast a long shadow across a nation. In piecing together this story, the new season of World of Secrets exposes the disturbed past and racial injustices of South Africa itself.

There's a unique dynamic that happens when two people who share a life also share a deep fascination with the darker corners of human nature. True Crime Couple is exactly that: a raw, unfiltered conversation between partners navigating the complex and often unsettling world of true crime together. This isn't a scripted lecture or a detached narration; it's the sound of two people trying to make sense of the senseless, often disagreeing, and always bringing their personal relationship into the analysis. You'll hear genuine reactions, personal debates, and the kind of tangential discussions that only happen when you're deeply comfortable with your co-host. The podcast delves into cases both infamous and obscure, but the real focus is on the human impact-the ripple effects on families, communities, and our own perceptions of safety and justice. It’s a documentary of sorts on how these stories affect us, recorded in real time from our living room. Listening feels like being part of a very specific, ongoing conversation where the case details are just the starting point for a deeper exploration of fear, morality, and the bonds that hold us together even when discussing the darkest subjects. We’re the True Crime Couple, and this is how we process the unthinkable, together.
