The making of mass murderer Louis van Schoor. The 鈥渁partheid killer鈥 was part of a system which enabled the shootings as 鈥渏ustifiable homicide鈥. As we investigate one of his most horrific crimes, we begin to expose the web of lies surrounding the killings and ask: how were they covered up?

Since this episode was recorded, it has been announced that Louis van Schoor died, on 25 July 2024. There will be more about this later in the series. This was a four-year investigation and the interviews with Louis van Schoor were recorded in 2022 and 2023.

Please note, this episode of World of Secrets includes descriptions of violence and torture, which some listeners may find distressing.

Season 3 of World of Secrets is a collaboration with the 大象传媒 World Service investigations unit, Africa Eye. Here鈥檚 a link to the 大象传媒 Africa Eye film, which we recommend you watch after listening to this podcast: https://youtu.be/QPB42_uLLh0
