Show notes

The murders began appearing across southern Gauteng. Women were being raped, robbed and killed. As investigators started connecting the dots, a disturbing picture emerged — they were hunting a serial offender. In this episode, Paul Llewellyn is joined by former SAPS profiler and investigator Lt Col Elmarie Myburgh to revisit the case of Lazarus Tshidiso Mazingane, the man who became known as the Nasrec Serial Killer. Together they walk through the investigation as it unfolded, from the first signs of linkage to the arrest and conviction of one of South Africa's most notorious serial offenders. They also examine the behavioural themes at the heart of the case: escalation, victim selection, control, behavioural linkage and the investigative lessons that remain relevant today. 📩 profilerafricainfo@gmail.com 🌍 plotshift.co.za
