Show notes

In 2002, forensic psychologist Gerard Labuschagne walked into his first crime scene—a brutal murder that would lead to the capture of Axe Killer Jose da Silva. But what happened next was even more chilling. In this episode of Profiler Africa, we take you inside the case with rare, unnerving audio of Gerard’s interview with the killer—recorded just hours after his arrest, in the very bathroom where the murder took place. It’s a raw, unfiltered glimpse into the mind of a murderer and the investigative process that ended his reign of terror. 📢 Support the Show: • Join our Patreon: patreon.com/profilerafrica for exclusive content. • Follow & Subscribe: Stay updated on new episodes. • Leave a Review: Help us bring more South African true crime stories to the world. 🎥 Watch full episodes on YouTube!
