3
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:17,880
In the summer of 2014,

4
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,600
we realized that our lives
would never be the same again.

5
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,160
Christine
Robinson was killed

6
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:34,680
at the game lodge she
owns in South Africa.

7
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:37,880
- She was found on the floor.

8
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,600
- Strangled, stabbed, raped.

9
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,520
This lady on
the end of the phone said,

10
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,120
"Your aunt's been murdered."

11
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,640
- The perpetrator had
already escaped to Zimbabwe.

12
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,160
Once someone has gone
across the border,

13
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,040
it's extremely difficult
to get them back.

14
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,600
- He could feel the sun on his
face and the wind in his hair

15
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:10,200
when she couldn't.

16
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:14,440
This man raped and murdered my aunt,

17
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,640
but the chances of them
finding him are nil.

18
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,640
- The murder rate in
South Africa is extreme.

19
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,560
Eight out of 10 murders,

20
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,560
someone will get away
with killing someone.

21
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,360
- Nobody was doing anything,

22
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:32,800
it just wasn't enough.

23
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,640
The only tool that I
had was the internet.

24
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,840
I looked at his Facebook profile

25
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,920
and it appeared that he was
posting on dating pages.

26
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,280
Knowing he was actively
seeking females,

27
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,440
I just thought, what the hell?

28
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,120
I'd set up a fake Facebook account

29
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,120
and I just put,
"You've got sexy eyes."

30
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,640
And then he commented back.

31
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,200
I needed to hook him in,
I needed to catch him.

32
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,160
Everybody else had given up,

33
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,920
but I was going to get justice.

34
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,960
I'm Lehanne and I'm
Christine Robinson's niece.

35
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:45,720
Having photos of her in her
life is really comforting.

36
00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:50,000
Here she is, a photo from 1959.

37
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:55,200
Chris is the youngest there
with my mom and my grandparents.

38
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,560
They grew up in Liverpool
and they were quite poor.

39
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,960
Christine was aspirational

40
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,960
and wanted to do better for herself.

41
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,960
Growing up, I remember
Christine was always fun.

42
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,160
She was a teacher, so had a
very good rapport with children.

43
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,360
She didn't have any
children of her own.

44
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,680
So as I grew older,

45
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,680
Chris and I had a really
close relationship.

46
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,720
As a teenager, I had severe asthma.

47
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,000
I was going into hospital
every month, every six weeks

48
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,800
as an emergency admission,

49
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,480
it causes a lot of stress,

50
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,800
but Chris was a great one
for finding the good in life.

51
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,360
She was fun-loving and had
a good energy about her.

52
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,040
So we would lift you as a person

53
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,120
and I think that's important

54
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,320
when you've got
challenges with health.

55
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,640
In her 20s, Chris moved to London.

56
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,760
She's definitely a chatty Scouser,
would chat to anybody,

57
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,040
so she had a very big
circle of friends.

58
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,080
- Chris and I first met in London

59
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:26,400
when we were beginning a new job
at a small international school.

60
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:31,680
She was the sort of
teacher that every parent

61
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,440
would want their
child to be taught by.

62
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,040
She was gentle and kind and caring.

63
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,600
If you heard Chris chuckle,

64
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:44,720
you would automatically
feel like she was a person

65
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,360
that you wanted to
spend more time with.

66
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,120
She would be hosting parties.

67
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,120
She would be making new
friends everywhere she went.

68
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,680
Chris made the most of her life.

69
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,440
She was a very spontaneous person.

70
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,120
Took every opportunity
to explore something

71
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,160
that was a little bit
out of the ordinary.

72
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,040
- She was adventurous.

73
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,800
Australia, China, Galapagos Islands,
South America,

74
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,400
you name it, she had been there.

75
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,840
She taught English as
a foreign language,

76
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,440
so she lived abroad a lot.

77
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,080
She was living in Germany.

78
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,400
Then she lived in Moscow.

79
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,400
And we all thought that she was nuts.

80
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:35,960
Then she went to Kuwait.

81
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,280
And then we thought definitely nuts.

82
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,000
There was always an
adventure to be had with her.

83
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,800
She was very inspirational.

84
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,840
And while she was living in Kuwait,
in her forties,

85
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,040
Chris met Robbie.

86
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,760
I remember her calling, saying he
had blonde hair and bright blue eyes

87
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:04,000
and a lovely Irish accent,

88
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,040
and that was, she
was stoked by it all.

89
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,000
Robbie stole her heart.

90
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,520
He had a son and daughter,

91
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,800
so there was that
lovely family for her.

92
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,920
They got married on the beach,
just the two of them,

93
00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:24,160
so she got a holiday out of it,

94
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,480
so she was probably
happy about that as well.

95
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:30,840
They were happy

96
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,640
and they were excited about
the next stage of their life.

97
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,280
I remember Chrissy
sent a postcard saying,

98
00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:46,680
we're thinking of
moving to South Africa.

99
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,840
They went on holiday
there, did a tour,

100
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,120
stayed in lodges and
went to the game parks.

101
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,240
Had a fabulous time

102
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,600
and she painted such a beautiful
picture of South Africa,

103
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:10,880
all the wildlife,

104
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:13,880
the sunshine,

105
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,440
the people.

106
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,240
She was really quite
smitten with the place.

107
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,200
Her and Rob decided to buy somewhere

108
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,480
in a place called Thabazimbi,

109
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,400
right next to Marakele National Park,

110
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,320
four hours north of Johannesburg.

111
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,920
It was a small game lodge.

112
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,320
The idea was people on
holiday could stay there

113
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:48,720
and do tours,

114
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,720
see the animals.

115
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,320
It had around 50 hectares of land.

116
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,440
Neither of them had experience
of running a game lodge,

117
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:03,680
so we were a bit--

118
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,880
are you sure that's what
you meant to be doing?

119
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,560
But in for a penny,
in for a pound and all that.

120
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,640
They started advertising on Facebook

121
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,840
and really endeavored
to do their best

122
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,800
to make it a success.

123
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,880
- I met Christine and Robbie in 2006.

124
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,720
They were a lovely, a lovely couple.

125
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,160
I become close to Christine.

126
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,680
Yes, with the time,

127
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,160
I was lodging manager,

128
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,440
I was taking care
about the reservation.

129
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,200
Welcome the guest, of course,

130
00:08:45,560 --> 00:08:47,880
give some instruction to the staff.

131
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:50,560
Sustan was a chef

132
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,000
taking care about all the restaurant,

133
00:08:54,680 --> 00:08:57,320
three ladies taking
care about the chalet,

134
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,760
be sure that everything was perfect

135
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,760
for the guests when they arrived.

136
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,000
Then we got a Gardner,
his name was Andrew.

137
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,880
He was from Zimbabwe.

138
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,360
He was there a year before me.

139
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,800
The staff and I,
we all lived on the property.

140
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:18,560
I was living at the lodge
with Thomas, my son,

141
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,680
and there was a good ambiance,
you know?

142
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,360
Everybody was very nice.

143
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:25,960
- Are you all right?

144
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,440
- I'm right and you?
- Fine thanks.

145
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,240
Quite a social person.

146
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,440
So yeah, I used to hang
a bit with the staff,

147
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:34,440
We had Moses.

148
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:35,680
- Hello!

149
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:37,920
- I had good relation
with every one of them.

150
00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:42,240
I used to see Andrew with
other members of staff

151
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,760
from all the lodges at a little bar
that's near the lodge.

152
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,320
It's called a shebeen

153
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,360
On weekends, everyone would be there
and you'd have a beer together.

154
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,000
- Nice people, really nice people.

155
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,000
It was a really nice life.

156
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,120
For four years,
the place of Christina and Robbie

157
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:01,720
was a happy place.

158
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,840
And then one day changed everything.

159
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,960
Christine told me that
Robbie was not well.

160
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,360
She told me, I will need to
travel because it's really bad.

161
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,160
Robbie got cancer, liver cancer,

162
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,560
and she say,
"I know that it will not be long."

163
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:50,600
- They decided very
quickly to return to the UK

164
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,440
to be with his family
from Northern Ireland.

165
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,480
It was a very short illness

166
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,960
and he sadly passed away.

167
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,480
It was devastating for everybody.

168
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,280
I remember Chris calling me and--

169
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,040
she was--

170
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,280
she was just heartbroken,
I think,

171
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,480
and devastated.

172
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,000
It was--

173
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:30,720
it was tough for her.

174
00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:43,560
But she decided to go back to
South Africa, to Thabazimbi.

175
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:47,880
I was driving her to the airport

176
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,560
and said, "You don't
need to do this Chris."

177
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,440
She said, "No, I've got to do it."

178
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,000
She needed to go back.

179
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,400
There was loose ends.

180
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,040
She needed to get the
lodge in a good place.

181
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,560
- Christine was back,

182
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:13,160
but she was lost, she was lost.

183
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,880
Sometimes in a very good mood

184
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,320
and sometimes completely depressed,

185
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,640
and she was alone to
care about the lodge.

186
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,400
She start to think, "Okay,

187
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,240
do I sell the place
or not sell the place?"

188
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,400
- She had hopes to return to England.

189
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,840
There was no urgency about it,

190
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,960
but that's what her focus was.

191
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:06,200
- One day Christine and I
go in town to get the money,

192
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,560
to pay the wage of the
staff the day after

193
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:09,960
and to make some shopping.

194
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,280
Then she was back from town.

195
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,040
It was 6:30 this night.

196
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,400
I ran to the staff quarter

197
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,920
to ask the gardener
Andrew to help us.

198
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,200
We offload the car
with all the shopping.

199
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:39,920
I say, bye-bye,

200
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,600
and then, yes, she was back at home.

201
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:44,680
I was back at home.

202
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:51,720
It was winter, at seven,
it's dark and it's cold,

203
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,960
so all of us,
we go early sleep.

204
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,480
It was a normal night.

205
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,880
The next morning, wake up very early.

206
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,400
And then I follow the road
to go for my shopping.

207
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,960
I get a phone call from Sustan,
the chef of the lodge.

208
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,600
He asked me if I knew about
Christine, where she was,

209
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,600
because there was no one
when they knocked at the door

210
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,160
and I say, I don't know,
but probably she sleep

211
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,200
and probably she took
something to sleep better.

212
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,600
Then five minutes later

213
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,160
I got a second call from Sustan.

214
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,400
"Hey madam, you need to come back.

215
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:39,680
There is a problem here.

216
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,880
Madam, Christine is dead."

217
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,760
I mean, it's like a nightmare

218
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,760
because you don't know if they are right

219
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,080
or they are not.

220
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,680
My car was, I don't remember

221
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,680
because I arrived like a bomb.

222
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,200
There was already a
lady from the police.

223
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,320
They come out of the house.

224
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,680
They explain me what
was happening inside.

225
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:27,600
She was strangled,

226
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:30,680
stabbed,

227
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:34,520
raped.

228
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,920
Yeah, just stop five minutes please.

229
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:05,920
I was sick,

230
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,520
I was in the toilet for 10 minutes.

231
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,040
I couldn't--
I couldn't cope with that.

232
00:17:21,120 --> 00:17:23,400
No one was supposed to move.

233
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,400
I remember the staff,
they were front of the office.

234
00:17:36,360 --> 00:17:38,440
It was very, very quiet.

235
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,520
It's so difficult to react

236
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,240
because you can't believe it.

237
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,560
You can't, it's so unreal.

238
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,360
It's like, no, she will come back.

239
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,800
One of the staff asked me,

240
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,400
"Where is Andrew?"

241
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,440
At this time, we realize
the gardener is missing.

242
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:22,720
Straight to the police,

243
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,920
we discuss and we say
that there is a problem.

244
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,480
- As soon as I arrived there,
they were talking about Andrew.

245
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,680
Yes, and the fact that it
was weird that he had left.

246
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,920
If I remember correctly,
someone called him

247
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,320
and he was saying, "it's not me,
it's not me, It's not me."

248
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,160
and you could hear he was driving

249
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,600
and then nothing after.

250
00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:54,920
- I didn't know what to think.

251
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,760
Andrew was really friendly.

252
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:03,120
I would never, never think that
Andrew could do that,

253
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,040
never.

254
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,600
- I was out for lunch
with one of my friends.

255
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,800
I had my phone on the table

256
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,480
and it's a South African number.

257
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,240
I explained to my friend,
it was my aunt in South Africa.

258
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,080
I picked up the phone--

259
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:40,560
and--

260
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,800
it wasn't Christine's voice.

261
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,440
And this lady's on
the end of the phone

262
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,520
said, "Christine's been murdered."

263
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,200
I felt like everybody was
looking and everybody knew.

264
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,600
I remember then calling my mum

265
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,360
and saying, "Mum,
I don't know how to say this,

266
00:20:21,360 --> 00:20:22,760
but I've had this call."

267
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:24,760
My mum called the lodge

268
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,440
and tried to find out
what was happening,

269
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,240
but it was chaotic there with police.

270
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,640
We kind of got drip fed information.

271
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,200
I was on the phone to
the foreign office.

272
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:36,520
They were very formal

273
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,520
and said, "No, we've had
no report of a murder

274
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,360
of a British citizen
in South Africa."

275
00:20:42,120 --> 00:20:43,960
So I'm thinking, "Well,
this can't be right."

276
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:47,960
My head was in a spin.

277
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,720
I just couldn't believe
it was happening.

278
00:20:50,120 --> 00:20:55,200
Until I remember in the evening,
I just Googled.

279
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,120
Christine Robinson murder.

280
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,400
And it was all over the internet

281
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,280
and suddenly it became very real,

282
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,000
excruciatingly painful,

283
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:18,200
like a electric shock
running through my body,

284
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,800
and then I called my mum

285
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:26,280
and I told her that
it was on the internet

286
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:30,680
and that there was a suggestion

287
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,720
that she'd been raped
and then murdered

288
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,960
and that was it.

289
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:38,760
Oh gosh,

290
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:43,640
it was a--

291
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,440
really brutal and traumatic,

292
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,800
really, really brutal

293
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,520
and traumatic death for a lovely,

294
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,320
kind, generous woman.

295
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,800
- Our bodies in South
Africa are crime scenes.

296
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:22,760
We have 900 women being killed
in a three month period,

297
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,960
that is 11 women being
killed on a daily basis.

298
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,160
- Levels of crime are shockingly high

299
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,280
and violent crime especially.

300
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,360
The levels of poverty, homelessness,

301
00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:42,320
joblessness are all very, very high.

302
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,280
For very many people,
crime simply becomes a way of life.

303
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:55,240
- In the last three
months, around 6,500 people

304
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,560
have been murdered in South Africa.

305
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,760
- From its birth, this
was a violent society.

306
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,760
It was founded on violence.

307
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,720
Apartheid was kept in
place through violence.

308
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,000
So violence is part
of the sort of fabric

309
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,240
of the society, of everyday life.

310
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,520
- I got a call to say,
we've got a murder,

311
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,360
and a serious case in Thabazimbi.

312
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,840
You know, when I got to the scene,
Noelle was very upset.

313
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,600
She and Christine, the victim,
was very close to each other,

314
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,880
so could see she's not well.

315
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,240
She's not taking it very well.

316
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,800
The crime scene itself took
place in the main bedroom

317
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,320
where Christine was sleeping.

318
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:07,960
The body was already removed.

319
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,920
According to our officer,
she was killed on the floor.

320
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,720
Her body was found on the floor,
covered in a duvet.

321
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:21,680
The knife was still
stuck in her neck,

322
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,440
so it was quite brutal in the
way that she was murdered.

323
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,360
I got myself the background
and all the detail

324
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,640
that I have to start
the investigation.

325
00:24:39,360 --> 00:24:42,280
There was the employer there
by the name of Andrew Ndlovu

326
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,720
from Zimbabwe that was
employed as a gardener there

327
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:48,280
and he was missing.

328
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,120
We established that there's
another Zimbabwean guy

329
00:24:52,120 --> 00:24:53,160
by the name of Hope.

330
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,480
He stays about five kilometers from
the crime scene towards Thabazimbi

331
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:58,800
and the information was

332
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,680
that Hope gave Andrew
a lift to the Zimbabwean border.

333
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,640
Zimbabwean border from
Thabazimbi is 550 kilometers,

334
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,160
so it's quite far off,
but you can drive there,

335
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,760
it's possible to get
there before the next day,

336
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,440
so it's possible that he would've
been over the border already.

337
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,720
It's not so easy then
to trace a person.

338
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:30,560
- I received a call about a foul
murder in Thabazimbi in Limpopo.

339
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,920
We've got the team together
and we decided to go there.

340
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,480
At that time I worked at a
civil rights organisation

341
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,880
and my specific role was to look
at violent crime in rural areas

342
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:48,640
that seemed to be really neglected
in terms of police resources.

343
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,080
My job was to provide
support to really make sure

344
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:53,880
that we catch the perpetrator.

345
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,240
When we got to the lodge,
there were a lot of rumors

346
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,200
about who that perpetrator was.

347
00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:07,680
Everyone was speaking of a
Zimbabwean man called Andrew

348
00:26:08,120 --> 00:26:11,320
and there was a really big fear
that he was back in Zimbabwe.

349
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,800
A lot of people were talking
about potential motive.

350
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,880
It seemed like the
relationship was good.

351
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,080
He had been working there
for quite some time,

352
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:23,760
according to what people said,

353
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:28,160
and people liked Christine,
so it didn't really make sense.

354
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,720
Why would this have happened,
if it was him,

355
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,320
why would he have killed her?

356
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,280
- The crime scene was
not very ransacked.

357
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:37,320
if I can put it that way,

358
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,080
so it gave me the impression
from my experience

359
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:42,400
that somebody that knows

360
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,560
what he wanted and where
to look for what he wants.

361
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,440
I took a look around the lodge

362
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,000
In the room next door, next site,

363
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,520
15,000 Rand, according to

364
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,520
the information we had
and that was missing.

365
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:01,400
- During the night,

366
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,520
Christine was preparing
the money to pay the staff,

367
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,960
one envelope for each one
with the right amount inside.

368
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,000
- He knew what to take
and took it and left.

369
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,760
- The foreign office
called back, said,

370
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,560
"Yes, the British
citizen has been killed

371
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,600
and we need to identify
the body with the passport."

372
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,320
I just wanted to be there,

373
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,840
to go to the crime scene,

374
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,040
to the place that it happened.

375
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,240
I wanted to understand,
I wanted to understand

376
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:52,960
how something like this could happen,

377
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,720
but suddenly it dawned on me,

378
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,240
there was no way for me to be there.

379
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:10,880
The last, oh gosh,

380
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,680
20 years maybe, I
haven't been able to fly.

381
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,240
I've got severe asthma

382
00:28:19,120 --> 00:28:22,360
and if you know anybody
who has severe asthma,

383
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,080
it's very different to people
living with a blue puffer.

384
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,600
I go into hospital every six weeks

385
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,120
for intravenous treatments

386
00:28:31,120 --> 00:28:35,120
so that I try and
avoid intensive care.

387
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,200
I have a lot of steroid treatments.

388
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,160
Then it affects my bones,
so there's been surgeries

389
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,120
for hip replacements, spinal surgery,

390
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,160
I am on approximately
30 different medicines.

391
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,120
I have to have a lot of nebulisers,

392
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,480
still often I can't walk.

393
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,600
I'm too breathless, I can't speak.

394
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:00,720
I'd been ill all my life.

395
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,320
I'd had health struggles,

396
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,520
but other things I'd find a way,

397
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,560
working I'd find a way,

398
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,600
university I found a way,

399
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,360
I'd find a way to get through things,

400
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,800
but this had no solution for me.

401
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,120
There was no way for me to be helpful

402
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,920
and that really hurt.

403
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:30,360
My uncle and my father went
to South Africa without me.

404
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,280
I remember my dad speaking to me

405
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,320
and they said a police
officer had been to the lodge

406
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:42,960
called Saki.

407
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,960
I remember them saying
he seemed switched on.

408
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,840
He's going to get it sorted,
he's made promises.

409
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,840
There was also a call from
a guy called Ian Cameron

410
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:55,760
and he wanted to help.

411
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,480
He'd been to the lodge to
find out what was happening.

412
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,120
It was a friendly voice
at the end of the phone

413
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:09,200
that knew about South Africa,
that was on the ground.

414
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,600
- Maybe we could put some pressure
on the South African government

415
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,000
to get Andrew back into South Africa

416
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,760
and potentially have him arrested

417
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:20,760
and what I said to her is,

418
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,960
"Let's keep it alive
on social media."

419
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:24,440
If we keep it alive on social media,

420
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:25,840
if we keep it alive in the media

421
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:30,000
and anything that she heard, I asked
her to communicate and vice versa,

422
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,440
and that's the way
of keeping it alive.

423
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,640
- It was a really confusing time.

424
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,760
You think, "Oh, the
government are involved.

425
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,440
They're going to find
out what's happened

426
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,800
and give a full account
of what's happening.

427
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:57,960
He's going to be found."

428
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,960
It's not going to bring Chrissy back,

429
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,280
but there might be consequences

430
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,320
for somebody who's
taken someone's life.

431
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,600
So you have these huge expectations,

432
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,040
massive expectations,

433
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,400
everything is going to be sorted out,

434
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:17,520
but it wasn't.

435
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:20,720
I needed support,

436
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,080
so I went to a meeting with a
group called Murdered Abroad.

437
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,400
- The Foreign Office
say that the 60 to 80

438
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,360
British people murdered
abroad every year.

439
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,640
It's more than one a week.

440
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,720
For those families, it's
devastating and it's lifelong,

441
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,160
and the Foreign Office
doesn’t have enough resources

442
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:45,480
to help those people.

443
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:52,280
Abandoned is a word that
I hear at every meeting.

444
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,200
Nobody's gonna come
and hold your hand,

445
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,800
if you want some sort of justice,

446
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,080
you've got to be proactive.

447
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,440
- The foreign office did
what was expected of them.

448
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:12,120
They went to the lodge to identify

449
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,440
Christine's body with a passport,

450
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,640
but the help, the support,

451
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,400
it was all platitudes.

452
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:26,800
It was ticking boxes,
it wasn't enough.

453
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:28,600
That's the bottom line.

454
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,840
It just wasn't enough
for what I needed,

455
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,600
for what my family needed

456
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,400
and let's face it,
for what Chris needed.

457
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,200
I always remember Chris saying,

458
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,680
"Should anything happen to me,
I want to come back to England."

459
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,160
There obviously had to be an autopsy,

460
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,000
but we knew the date
when she was coming

461
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,360
so we could set the
date for the funeral.

462
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,960
The vicar did a really
beautiful service

463
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:21,040
and we had the choir sing the
South African National Anthem.

464
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:31,000
It felt like a
celebration of her life

465
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,200
and people were generous and kind

466
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:40,920
and mindful of the situation as well.

467
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,560
Time was just marching on and
we weren't getting anywhere.

468
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,920
The South African authorities

469
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,800
would supposedly update
the foreign office.

470
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,480
They would update me,

471
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,200
but the updates got less and less.

472
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:25,280
Andrew was supposed
to be in Zimbabwe.

473
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,520
The South African judiciary

474
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,680
was seeking a extradition order,

475
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,920
but that never seemed
to come together.

476
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,640
It was as if she was forgotten about.

477
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:43,960
- A detective in South Africa

478
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:48,720
has easily close to 300 dockets
per detective on average,

479
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,680
a docket represents a case.

480
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,080
You can understand why it is such

481
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,520
a tremendously difficult
space to work in.

482
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,240
- Apartheid South Africa,
so much investment

483
00:35:01,240 --> 00:35:05,200
and so much policing went into
simply enforcing apartheid laws,

484
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:06,920
but almost no investment

485
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,920
went into protecting ordinary
people from criminal violence.

486
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,120
The nature of policing
needed to change.

487
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,320
The South African government
has invested in policing

488
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:22,040
quite substantially,
but not nearly enough.

489
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,000
- Christine's case had been
going on for quite some time,

490
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,440
and it sounds like you know,
no compassion whatsoever.

491
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:31,560
I don't mean it that way,

492
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,720
but at that stage I just felt, well,

493
00:35:33,720 --> 00:35:35,600
if he's back in Zim, there's no use.

494
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,440
We'd need to give attention
to the cases that are current

495
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:39,920
where we can assist

496
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,680
and ensure that the perpetrators
are brought to book.

497
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,400
There are too many
other cases to look at,

498
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,840
so we just, we stood back.

499
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,800
- People moved on with their lives.

500
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,680
It felt like I was the only person

501
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,040
that was actively
looking for answers.

502
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:12,760
I just so wanted to be there,
but it wasn't possible.

503
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,680
So the internet became a useful tool.

504
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,320
I had a Facebook account.

505
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,920
It helped keep the
connections with South Africa

506
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,800
and with Ian and with Saki.

507
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,080
The one person I did have

508
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,760
some more regular
contact was with Noelle.

509
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:38,240
She'd been a friend of Christine,

510
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,720
so it was easier to
build that relationship.

511
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:54,480
I remember I was on Facebook

512
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,440
and I just wanted to
see the man's face

513
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:03,880
and I looked him up

514
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,680
and I thought,
"So that's who you are."

515
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,720
This is the man that raped
and murdered my aunt.

516
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,280
His profile wasn't active.

517
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,080
Every now and again I'd check
to see if there was any updates

518
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,080
that might show where he was.

519
00:37:31,720 --> 00:37:34,120
One day out of the blue,

520
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,120
I got a message from Noelle.

521
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,320
Andrew had been seen in
a church in South Africa.

522
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,960
- We got a guy that was
working at the lodge.

523
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,000
He saw him in Johannesburg.

524
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,560
The problem, Johannesburg is so big,

525
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:22,640
where to find him?

526
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,960
- I had spoke to the police officer

527
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,560
that was looking at
the case at the time

528
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:54,080
and they said they would
observe the church,

529
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,280
but he wasn't seen,

530
00:39:01,720 --> 00:39:04,440
so that option went away.

531
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,920
There was no further dialogue really
with the police officer.

532
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,720
The chances of them
finding him are nil.

533
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,760
So at that point we thought
it was a lost opportunity.

534
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,080
I remember reading a quote online

535
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,920
and it said, "The dead
cannot cry out for justice.

536
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,000
It is a duty of the
living to do it for them."

537
00:39:48,720 --> 00:39:52,080
and I was so frustrated
with nothing happening.

538
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,840
I needed to do something.

539
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,200
The only tool I had was the internet,

540
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,720
and I just thought, "What the hell?"

541
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:06,200
Opened Facebook.

542
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,920
I went to his Facebook profile.

543
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,080
I started looking at
who his friends were

544
00:40:18,720 --> 00:40:21,880
and from looking
through their profiles

545
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,040
and their friends,

546
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,320
I just couldn't believe it.

547
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,280
He had other accounts,

548
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,800
slight variations of his name,

549
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:37,200
Andrea Ndlovu, not Andrew Ndlovu,

550
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:40,600
different photos,

551
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:43,760
but of the same man.

552
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,720
My head's shooting off
all over the place.

553
00:40:49,720 --> 00:40:51,160
My stomach's in knots.

554
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,840
He was having an active
life on Facebook.

555
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,120
I could see there was
four different profiles

556
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,520
and they were all connected
by the same friend group.

557
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,640
There was one that was a
little bit more religious,

558
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,120
stating quotes from the Bible.

559
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,320
There was one that was actively

560
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,440
posting comments on
some dating pages,

561
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:25,200
which really concerned me
knowing what he’d done,

562
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,200
but I thought,

563
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:35,000
if he wants
female companionship,

564
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,560
then let's see if he bites.

565
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:45,880
Without thinking it through,
I made up a profile of a woman.

566
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,280
There was no planning,
it was just instinct.

567
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,800
I've got two ex-racing greyhounds.

568
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:58,880
One is called Slow Lane Missy
and the other Felix Falcao.

569
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,520
Join them together, Missy Falcao.

570
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,400
It was all just on the hoof.

571
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:09,680
I didn't think anything of it,

572
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,680
just a back of somebody's head.

573
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:16,720
If somebody wants to befriend me,

574
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,240
I always look at how
the connection is made.

575
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:24,280
I had to try to make it
look like Missy Falcao

576
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,360
wasn't a brand new person.

577
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,440
So I connected to his friends.

578
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,600
After a period of time,

579
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:42,440
I actively commented on the
friends' accounts as Missy Falcao,

580
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,800
so there was some history to it.

581
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:06,880
A few weeks later, I'd noticed
that on one of his old posts,

582
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:10,200
somebody had made a comment
about him being attractive

583
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,040
and he'd posted something

584
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:15,000
and then

585
00:43:29,240 --> 00:43:31,920
I sent a direct message.

586
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:45,520
I panicked,

587
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:50,080
I was going down a route,
I didn't know where I was going.

588
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,320
The emotions were here,
there and everywhere.

589
00:43:59,960 --> 00:44:02,240
And then he commented back.

590
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:10,920
I could barely take a breath.

591
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,680
My heart was in my mouth.

592
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,320
My stomach was doing somersaults.

593
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:25,120
I told my husband that he'd replied,

594
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:26,840
he was shocked,

595
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,400
but we agreed that
the important thing

596
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,000
was to keep him hooked in.

597
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,600
Andrew and I started messaging.

598
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:47,080
And so it was true.

599
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:52,040
He'd actually told me he
was living in Johannesburg.

600
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,200
Half of me didn't want to believe it

601
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,760
because that showed that
he was living his life.

602
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,640
The other half of me
was thinking, okay,

603
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,880
there might be something
to hold onto here.

604
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:05,720
Let's see where this takes me.

605
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:10,440
But very quickly I realized

606
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:16,120
you had to make this
backstory up of Missy Falcao.

607
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:26,880
And as questions were
coming in from him,

608
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:30,200
I just went with my gut,

609
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,040
so she was from Ghana.

610
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:35,960
I'm in hospital a lot.

611
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:37,400
There's time differences,

612
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,480
so she was a young air stewardess.

613
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,240
She wasn't immediately
accessible all the time.

614
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:46,680
There would be a delay,

615
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:49,560
quite a glamorous lady,

616
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:53,520
a bit sassy.

617
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,120
Google Maps was a great help.

618
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,080
I couldn't physically be there,

619
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:12,320
but by creating Missy Falcao,

620
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:14,960
I could contact him

621
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:20,320
and be effectively in South Africa.

622
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,680
She lived in an area called Eden Vale.

623
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,520
Within close proximity
to the airport,

624
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,200
it gave me some control,

625
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:39,200
which I hadn't had in any
aspect of this investigation.

626
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:45,400
Before this whole backstory,
she was just a picture.

627
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:52,640
But now he was very interested.

628
00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,320
He was flattered

629
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:03,160
and I knew that flattery
was going to win him over

630
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:05,920
and keep a contact going.

631
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:10,800
As the messaging continued,

632
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,120
he became more needy.

633
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,880
He wanted to speak to Missy Falcao.

634
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:22,360
He wanted to FaceTime, to meet.

635
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:24,880
There was a fear

636
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,440
that because he wasn't
getting what he wanted,

637
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:31,320
he'd soon become very disinterested
and just walk away.

638
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:34,520
It was a double-edged sword.

639
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,760
I had to try and string it out,

640
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,600
so if the authorities were
going to get on board,

641
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:44,440
there's still that time.

642
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:49,880
So the idea was
Missy Falcao became flirty

643
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:55,320
and give him her response that

644
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:58,360
there's a possibility
of a relationship

645
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,920
that the meeting was going to happen.

646
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,920
There was never any sexual content.

647
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,640
She was a good Christian,
went to church,

648
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:10,320
looked after her family.

649
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:16,160
It was butterflies in my stomach.

650
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:18,840
Can't wait to hear from you again.

651
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,080
Sorry I haven't been in touch,
this has happened.

652
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:28,160
But it hurt, every time I
contacted him, it sickened me

653
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:33,440
and it was something that
turned my stomach.

654
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:37,080
It was, all I wanted to do was say,

655
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:40,640
"I know who you are.
I know what you've done."

656
00:48:43,240 --> 00:48:48,320
I did what I felt I had
to do to get justice.

657
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:01,600
I told the foreign office,

658
00:49:02,240 --> 00:49:04,680
I'd set up a fake Facebook account

659
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:11,080
and I was now having conversations
with the man that murdered my aunt.

660
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,840
They told the consulate, the police

661
00:49:15,240 --> 00:49:16,600
and still nothing happened.

662
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,000
I could see his telephone number.

663
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:25,560
I could have called him
and nothing happened,

664
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,840
and as far as I can see,
they can just go and arrest him.

665
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:34,920
So out of sheer frustration

666
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:39,080
and fear that he would
disappear and lose interest,

667
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:41,600
I reached out Saki,

668
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,160
the original investigating officer.

669
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:51,160
He wasn't part of the South
African police force any longer.

670
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:55,240
He was working as a
private investigator.

671
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:59,160
- When I retired, there was
cases that we couldn't solve,

672
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:01,800
but it's always frustrating
not to solve a case.

673
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:03,440
You'll never forget those cases.

674
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:09,120
- He still had a lot of
contacts in the police force

675
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:12,160
and whilst he was
based in Thabazimbi,

676
00:50:12,240 --> 00:50:15,240
he still had contacts
in Johannesburg.

677
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:18,600
He was on board

678
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,680
and from that, it snowballed.

679
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:27,600
It was, okay, well,
let's see what we can do.

680
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:30,800
We knew who he was,
we knew where he was.

681
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:36,840
They looked to see if
there was a position

682
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,200
that everyone could get to,
we could make an arrest.

683
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:43,080
- Lehanne said, she's got a
cell phone number of Andrew.

684
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:48,080
I knew there's a starting
point to start looking for him.

685
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:49,320
There's something to work on.

686
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:56,200
- The idea was because they
knew he was in Brixton,

687
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:58,480
Saki with a group of police officers

688
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:02,120
could triangulate his phone,

689
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:06,400
find his location and arrest him.

690
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:18,240
It was the first time that
there was an activity.

691
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:20,240
There was a group of
people that were willing

692
00:51:20,240 --> 00:51:21,720
and that was really important.

693
00:51:21,720 --> 00:51:24,880
Having somebody that
was willing to step out

694
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:26,200
and to do something.

695
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:33,400
It had taken a little while to set up

696
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:36,400
because it was a
dangerous area of Brixton,

697
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:40,080
so they needed to have the
right staff members there.

698
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,680
But one night I heard from Saki

699
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:50,480
they were going to do
this operation overnight.

700
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:59,600
- We arranged a Sting operation
to go and look for Andrew,

701
00:52:00,720 --> 00:52:03,280
there's certain systems in place
that you can place a cell phone

702
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:05,040
onto exactly where the person is,

703
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:07,840
so we joined the police.

704
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:09,520
We went through to Johannesburg.

705
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,960
We waited to sit in garage,
started coming together,

706
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:16,360
seeing where the phone is.

707
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:21,960
- I'm at home knowing
that this operation

708
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:23,760
is going to take place,

709
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,680
but there was no
communication that night.

710
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:34,680
- We were close to him.
We were obviously not very far.

711
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:38,920
We actually get a signal through
the tower from the phone,

712
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:41,560
and then you have to
start driving around

713
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:43,360
to pick up where the
phone exactly is.

714
00:52:44,240 --> 00:52:45,960
It's a system that the police have.

715
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:49,960
- It was the first time

716
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,360
that there was something
really positive.

717
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:54,320
Something was happening
on the ground.

718
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,280
I felt the pressure because
although I'd shown them

719
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:07,160
all the details of who he was,
where he was, the Facebook page,

720
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:09,080
it was still my doing.

721
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:18,720
It was me influencing
them to make this action.

722
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:22,160
There's a lot of
resources being spent.

723
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:26,120
I was worried that
it was going to wrong

724
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:27,880
or that he would escape.

725
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:35,800
I remember the day of
Christine's funeral,

726
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:37,120
my uncle saying to me,

727
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:40,440
"Don't even consider it,
trying to track him.

728
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:42,520
It is never gonna happen."

729
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:51,720
I didn't want him to be
able to hurt anybody again,

730
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:59,720
and he was within the
grasp of the police.

731
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:29,240
I woke up the next morning,

732
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:35,600
there was a message from Saki,

733
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:43,160
the phone tracking
hadn't been successful.

734
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:50,040
- We're not far from him.

735
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:51,360
That's what's so frustrating.

736
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:53,200
We were so close to
him, but yet so far.

737
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:57,800
Lehanne went through all this
trouble to get hold of him

738
00:54:57,880 --> 00:54:59,560
and then things didn't go right.

739
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,120
Two o'clock in the morning,
the phone went off,

740
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:03,760
the battery went dead or
something went wrong

741
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:05,200
and we couldn't trace it anymore.

742
00:55:10,240 --> 00:55:14,120
- I was angry and
saddened and disappointed

743
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:16,760
and all the raft of emotions
that come with that.

744
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:22,960
It was the one thing I thought
would pull it all together.

745
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:27,240
I had such high hopes,
you can't help yourself.

746
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:36,160
I went to the Missy Falcao
account and contacted Andrew.

747
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:48,440
There was no response,

748
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,080
so I was left not knowing
what was happening.

749
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:54,880
I didn't know anything,

750
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,520
he just kind of was
off the radar again.

751
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:05,400
But a couple of days after.

752
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:12,160
I did get a message back from Andrew

753
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:18,680
and he told Missy that
his phone had been stolen

754
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:22,360
and I was really suspicious.

755
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:24,880
It seemed very coincidental

756
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:27,920
that this had happened the
night of this operation,

757
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:31,800
but at the same time,
I was really happy

758
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:33,240
that there'd been some contact

759
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:37,640
and he hadn't totally
abandoned Missy.

760
00:56:39,240 --> 00:56:40,760
There was still a tiny possibility

761
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:43,200
that something might happen.

762
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:51,000
There was an exchange of messages

763
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:53,920
and I become increasingly suspicious

764
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,960
that he was suspicious
of Missy Falcao.

765
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:03,680
I was delaying Missy
meeting up or calling him.

766
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:09,120
He sent a message.

767
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:13,160
"Are you for real Missy?"

768
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:18,480
And that rang an alarm bell.

769
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:23,480
That was the first time he'd
actually questioned anything.

770
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:26,520
His interest was waning.

771
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:29,080
I was nervous,

772
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:32,240
we were losing a hold on him.

773
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:57,760
So then I was more mindful
to send more messages

774
00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:00,600
and be more active in messaging him,

775
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:12,760
but I felt as if I was losing
my grip on the situation

776
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:16,560
and it was slipping away from me.

777
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:23,640
The South African police had a view
to organise a sting operation

778
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:29,920
so that Andrew would physically
meet up with Missy Falcao.

779
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:35,080
I was a bit apprehensive
that somebody might get injured.

780
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:37,680
I, all I know is that
the man's a murderer.

781
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:42,640
The police decided
they would take over

782
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:44,520
the Missy Falcao account

783
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:49,280
and have a female police
officer message him.

784
00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:00,200
So it was at that point I effectively

785
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:02,920
handed over the Missy Falcao account

786
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:04,720
to the South African police.

787
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:13,160
I was relieved that somebody
else would talk to him.

788
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:15,720
I thought, well,
they're professionals.

789
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:16,760
They know what to do.

790
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:20,320
I've just been winging it for
the last however many months,

791
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:24,560
and at the same time
I was apprehensive

792
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:25,880
because I'd lost control.

793
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:32,480
And it all seemed to be going well

794
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:38,320
until the date started
to be suggested.

795
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:42,160
It'd be next Saturday,

796
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:46,440
and then we couldn't get
the right officers in place.

797
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:51,160
The timeline was being
pushed back all the time.

798
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:58,840
Then there was a point,
they suggested a date

799
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:01,080
they could get all the
personnel that were needed,

800
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:08,840
and then stoney silence from Andrew.

801
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:10,000
There was nothing back.

802
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:16,680
He just lost interest
and disappeared.

803
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:19,120
Nobody heard from him again.

804
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:28,480
It was at that point I realized

805
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:34,000
that the moment to
capture him, arrest him

806
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:37,280
and get justice was gone,
gone forever.

807
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:45,400
Missy Falcao is no more.

808
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:02,200
I remember I just broke down.

809
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:07,240
I just physically cried
and cried and cried.

810
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:10,440
They couldn't make it happen

811
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:14,160
and they should have.

812
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:19,600
It felt like she didn't matter

813
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:23,120
and that's what hurt the most.

814
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:28,640
There was no more chances,

815
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:32,560
Missy had gone.

816
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:35,280
I just felt lost.

817
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:41,440
All that effort, all that stress,

818
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:44,760
writing these messages

819
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:48,720
to a man that murdered my aunt,

820
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:52,840
that was the need I had for justice,

821
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:57,760
but now it was over.

822
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:01,160
Justice wouldn't be possible.

823
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:05,520
He was gonna live his life.

824
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:07,440
He would be free for
the rest of his life

825
01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:10,680
and there'd be no
consequences for his actions.

826
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:38,760
There's a remembrance page
that was set up for Christine

827
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:43,840
and every birthday on the
anniversary, Christmas.

828
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:48,840
I always write something and
I know she's not reading it,

829
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:50,960
I know, but it just helps.

830
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:59,200
On the sixth anniversary of
her death, I couldn't sleep,

831
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:01,680
so it was about four or
five o'clock in the morning.

832
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:05,120
I checked his profile.

833
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:09,600
He'd posted a picture of himself.

834
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:13,320
He looked very smart in his attire,
he was dressed up.

835
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:16,320
there was a Ferris wheel in the back

836
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:19,000
and there was a Ferris
wheel in Joburg,

837
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:21,200
so he was still in Johannesburg

838
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:23,200
living his life,

839
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:25,080
still living his life.

840
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:29,280
He was still out there to
do what he wanted to do.

841
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:37,920
The foreign office had always
said never to post anything online,

842
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,840
no pictures of him, what he'd done,

843
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:45,320
anything that could
jeopardize any investigation,

844
01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:47,800
I thought to hell with it.

845
01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:50,440
Why shouldn't people know
who he is and what he's done?

846
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:54,120
I took the picture I'd seen of Andrew

847
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:59,360
and I put it on the
Facebook page saying,

848
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:02,200
this is the man

849
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:04,760
that's wanted for the rape
and murder of my aunt.

850
01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:13,560
Within an hour or so of posting,
Ian Cameron contacted me.

851
01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:18,120
- I saw that post and I said to her,

852
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:22,440
"Let's just try to do
something, just one more shot."

853
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:25,680
Would she be able to send
me the pictures again

854
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:28,720
of Christine, of Christine's husband,

855
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:32,360
of Andrew so I can rewrite something

856
01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:35,440
and post it again on
my own social media?

857
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:40,200
She had built this
entire fake profile

858
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:42,880
and now thanks to Lehanne,

859
01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:45,720
we had a whole lot of
new pictures of Andrew.

860
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:48,160
Not only was it more updated,

861
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:50,440
but it could also indicate to us

862
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:52,480
how he may look if he was different

863
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:54,080
to what we originally thought.

864
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:57,160
Pictures of him in the car,

865
01:04:57,240 --> 01:04:59,920
some of them he had
slightly longer hair.

866
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:02,160
Some of them he was wearing clothes

867
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:04,520
that was almost smart, casual.

868
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:07,160
It was incredible,

869
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:11,680
and I posted the pictures on Facebook

870
01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:16,880
and it just went viral.

871
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:21,640
People from all over
started sharing this thing,

872
01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:23,800
started commenting.

873
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:26,680
In all my years working
with farm attacks,

874
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:30,480
I had never seen a post
on Facebook do that.

875
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:35,040
I was reading the
comments the whole time.

876
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:37,840
Then later on that day,

877
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:42,600
I noticed someone saying that
she sent me a direct message.

878
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:48,760
- I was at work,
I scrolled through Facebook

879
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:50,520
and I saw this picture.

880
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:54,800
I was shocked and scared and afraid.

881
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:57,080
I immediately told my dad.

882
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:15,080
I messaged Ian, "I know this guy,
he's working for my dad."

883
01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:20,320
He knows our every move,
our daily life.

884
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:23,080
- Like I couldn't believe it.

885
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:25,560
I mean, I was astounded.

886
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:27,920
Literally six years

887
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:29,960
after Christina had been murdered,

888
01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:34,360
someone says that they know the guy
that killed Christine Robinson.

889
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:37,400
It just didn't make sense,
it was too good to be true.

890
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:41,200
She said, I should
speak to her father.

891
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:43,360
I called and they
immediately answered

892
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:46,280
and said, "There's no doubt
this is him in the pictures.

893
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:50,080
but it can't be him,
he's the best employee."

894
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:55,360
- We were on our way to work,
so he was sitting next to me.

895
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:59,280
I thought it was not him.

896
01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:01,400
I think no, can't be him.

897
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:04,280
He's this amazing guy
that works with them

898
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:06,600
and he's much closer
than the rest of them.

899
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:13,000
- I'm a installer for industrial
and domestic garage doors.

900
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:17,320
The day Andrew started working there,

901
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:22,360
I saw him that he's clever,
he did good work.

902
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:27,040
We had a room in the
back of the yard.

903
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:29,280
He came and moved in
with his girlfriend there

904
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:30,760
that was working for us.

905
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:34,280
They moved in and stayed
there for the last year.

906
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:38,000
We trusted him,

907
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:40,640
I left him with my wife,
my daughters.

908
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:43,520
He was fixing things in the house.

909
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:48,640
- And I said to them, "Well,
I've got bad news for you,

910
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:51,480
but if you are saying that it's
definitely him on the picture,

911
01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:55,040
his real name, from what
we know, is Andrew Ndlovu

912
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:56,760
and he killed Christine Robinson."

913
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:04,240
- Ian called me and
I couldn't believe

914
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:07,240
that this was happening.

915
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:13,440
- We only have one
opportunity to sort this out.

916
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:19,480
I phoned a good friend
of mine that's involved

917
01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:22,280
with the South African Police
Service called Reg Crewe.

918
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:25,280
- I've been the head of reservist

919
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:29,440
at the police station in
Pretoria for a number of years.

920
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:32,720
Ian Cameron phoned me.

921
01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:34,800
He explained to me the situation

922
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:36,680
and asked me if I had any connections

923
01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:38,320
with policemen in Johannesburg.

924
01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:43,400
I said, well, instead of giving
him policemen from Joburg,

925
01:08:43,480 --> 01:08:45,320
then we'd rather go
and do it ourselves.

926
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:50,360
Had to get clearance
from my commander

927
01:08:50,440 --> 01:08:51,840
that we could leave our jurisdiction

928
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:53,680
to go to the Johannesburg area.

929
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:56,920
Arranged three additional
members to go with me

930
01:08:58,080 --> 01:08:59,880
and then move out towards Joburg.

931
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:05,120
- Ian called later that day

932
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:08,080
and told me he was
getting a team together

933
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:09,560
to go and arrest him

934
01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:12,880
and that he would call
me as they set out

935
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:14,160
to do the arrest.

936
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,480
- Reg picked me up
just between Joburg

937
01:09:23,480 --> 01:09:25,640
and Pretoria where
I lived on the way.

938
01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:28,560
They came there with one
marked police vehicle

939
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:30,520
and one unmarked police vehicle,

940
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:33,320
and we just spoke about
how do we approach this.

941
01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:37,320
- We've done many attempts
to do take downs of suspects,

942
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:39,880
many of them unsuccessful.

943
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:42,320
The suspect may attempt to flee

944
01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:45,040
or we arrive there and
it's a red herring

945
01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:47,400
or the suspect is not the
person we are looking for.

946
01:09:48,440 --> 01:09:50,480
However, we had to
go through the plan

947
01:09:50,480 --> 01:09:52,000
to see if we could catch him.

948
01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:54,200
- I felt anxious.

949
01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:57,080
I mean, I felt anxious
on behalf of Lehanne.

950
01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:08,400
- From a tactical point of view,
we never stop outside the address.

951
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:10,280
We stop a few houses away.

952
01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:14,960
The homeowner came to our vehicles

953
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:17,520
in the darkness.

954
01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:20,320
It was quiet.

955
01:10:22,440 --> 01:10:25,040
He confirmed that the
suspect was present.

956
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:26,240
He was in the room.

957
01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:32,560
- I was sitting in the corner.
My husband's pacing up and down

958
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:37,760
and then the phone call,
FaceTime through WhatsApp

959
01:10:38,440 --> 01:10:42,040
with Ian commentating
as to what's happening.

960
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:46,000
We're walking down the street,
there's a group of police officers.

961
01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:49,760
- I had one phone in
one hand trying to film,

962
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:52,280
but I was shaking so much,
I couldn't believe it.

963
01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:55,560
I opened the gate just slightly.

964
01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:59,400
We then walked to
that little apartment.

965
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:02,240
- There was a light on in the room.

966
01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:04,840
I could hear movements inside,

967
01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:06,840
the adrenaline pumps.

968
01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:08,720
1

969
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:12,680
Every situation we treat
with extreme caution,

970
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:18,280
every door that we knock on,
you get a different response,

971
01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:20,600
could explode into something violent.

972
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:24,240
If this person was
willing to do the things

973
01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:25,840
that he was alleged to have done,

974
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:27,920
we don't know what
he could try with us.

975
01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:36,160
- I'm watching them potentially
arrest the murderer.

976
01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:40,040
It's very real,
but surreal at the same time.

977
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:43,680
- The other policemen were behind me
with assault rifles.

978
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:48,240
I knocked on the door,

979
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:52,040
not really expecting a reply.

980
01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:01,480
And Andrew opened the door.

981
01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:06,080
- The signal was poor,
the camera judding around.

982
01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:09,200
- He looked like he had seen a ghost.

983
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:14,360
- I stepped forward into
the room, he stepped back.

984
01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:18,080
I asked him, "Do you
know why we are here?"

985
01:12:19,600 --> 01:12:21,800
And his answer was simply "Yes."

986
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:26,920
I warned him that we were
placing him under arrest.

987
01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:29,640
I warned him of his
constitutional rights.

988
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:35,200
- I said to Lehanne, "We've got him."

989
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:46,200
Even when I think about it now,
it's emotional to me.

990
01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:50,920
- And the next thing I'm
seeing seeing him in handcuffs

991
01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:57,720
and him walking down the street
and they've arrested him.

992
01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:04,040
It's still hard for me

993
01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:07,920
to believe it's real

994
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:12,000
and oh gosh, the tears just came

995
01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:19,960
and I contacted lots of members
of my family and friends

996
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:24,040
and I just wanted to shout
it from the rooftops really.

997
01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:30,960
- I was just crying
and she was crying.

998
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:34,440
That was the best day.

999
01:13:36,480 --> 01:13:37,720
- I felt relief first

1000
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:40,640
and then I felt really angry.

1001
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:46,480
To do such a horrific
thing and now you come back

1002
01:13:46,480 --> 01:13:48,240
and you put on this big show

1003
01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:51,760
of what an amazing
so-called employee you are.

1004
01:13:52,440 --> 01:13:56,760
- It was a big shock for all of us,
it was a big shock.

1005
01:13:57,240 --> 01:13:59,680
For nearly five years,
he was in my house,

1006
01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:02,640
stayed with my wife, my children.

1007
01:14:02,640 --> 01:14:06,280
I was so relieved that I
know he's off the streets.

1008
01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:08,200
He won't do that again to anybody.

1009
01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:14,720
- We found a passport in the
name of Andrea Imbayaru.

1010
01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:16,400
and he confirmed that is him.

1011
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:19,680
He denied knowing who
Andrew Ndlovu was.

1012
01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:23,880
We'd secured him,
we'd secured the evidence

1013
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:27,120
and then detained him in our cells,

1014
01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:31,000
until the Thabazimbi police
could arrive and take him away.

1015
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:36,080
- After all this time,

1016
01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:40,080
maybe at last there
might be some justice.

1017
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:45,800
- A lot of people think that
when the arrest is done,

1018
01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:46,960
then it's all over.

1019
01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:49,200
That's only the beginning.

1020
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:55,960
- The criminal justice system

1021
01:14:56,040 --> 01:14:58,040
as it stands, is extremely tricky.

1022
01:14:59,440 --> 01:15:02,320
- It's very close to
about 80% of murders

1023
01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:04,840
are not successfully convicted.

1024
01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:08,520
- Quite often the
South African police

1025
01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:10,080
simply losing documents.

1026
01:15:10,760 --> 01:15:14,040
Forensic services are
quite often lacking.

1027
01:15:15,160 --> 01:15:19,400
- The South African police service
is under enormous pressure

1028
01:15:19,400 --> 01:15:21,880
and operating with limited resources.

1029
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:26,120
Cases are being postponed
because of further investigation

1030
01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:29,400
or they're waiting for DNA results.

1031
01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:34,320
A court case can last up
to three to four years.

1032
01:15:34,320 --> 01:15:39,000
It moves at a pregnant snail's pace

1033
01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:42,520
and in between that,
anything can happen.

1034
01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:47,320
- The police build a dossier
on that specific incident.

1035
01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:51,240
Now, if there's any
gap in that dossier,

1036
01:15:51,240 --> 01:15:55,240
it'll have a negative impact
on successful prosecution

1037
01:15:56,720 --> 01:16:00,120
because of the sheer pressure
and the volumes of cases.

1038
01:16:00,200 --> 01:16:02,320
They're so overburdened
that both the detective

1039
01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:05,000
and the prosecutor, if it
is thrown out the case,

1040
01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:07,160
they just say, well
onto the next one.

1041
01:16:19,200 --> 01:16:21,720
- Leading up to the trial is
all these doubts in your head

1042
01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:24,120
of all the things
that could go wrong.

1043
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:27,400
I still had reservations and doubts

1044
01:16:27,480 --> 01:16:30,400
that they'd
arrested the right man.

1045
01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:35,880
I was nervous as to whether
they'd have enough evidence,

1046
01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:38,760
that everything would've
been documented.

1047
01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:39,800
It hadn't been lost.

1048
01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:41,520
All these things run
through your mind.

1049
01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:48,240
I couldn't travel for the trial.

1050
01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:51,240
I go into hospital every six weeks.

1051
01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:55,200
In fact, I was doing hospital
when the trial was happening

1052
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:58,440
because I couldn't attend and
my parents couldn't attend,

1053
01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:02,680
I was frantically reading legislation

1054
01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:05,080
in South Africa and trial reports.

1055
01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:10,280
I was nervous as to whether
we'd get a good prosecutor.

1056
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:22,440
- I was the prosecutor in
the case of Andrew Ndlovu,

1057
01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:24,960
I'm employed within the
National Prosecuting

1058
01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:26,520
Authority of South Africa.

1059
01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:29,320
We look at complex offenses

1060
01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:33,600
with a lot of investigating
officer from rural stations

1061
01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:35,320
who may lack experience.

1062
01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:38,920
- I thought there could
have been a video link

1063
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:40,640
so we could watch the trial

1064
01:17:40,720 --> 01:17:43,600
and understand what was happening,

1065
01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:46,840
but it came back that that
doesn't happen in South Africa,

1066
01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:52,040
so we appointed a lawyer
to act as a watching brief.

1067
01:17:57,360 --> 01:18:01,400
- I'm going to look at my notes
just to confirm the facts.

1068
01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:05,560
I received instructions
from Lehanne Sergison

1069
01:18:05,560 --> 01:18:08,440
to do a watching brief
during the court hearing

1070
01:18:08,440 --> 01:18:11,840
and to report to the Robinson family

1071
01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:13,840
what transpired at court.

1072
01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:20,400
- Unfortunately, just
before the trial,

1073
01:18:20,480 --> 01:18:21,920
I became very unwell,

1074
01:18:24,120 --> 01:18:26,240
became
more unwell in hospital

1075
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:28,440
and the doctors did some tests

1076
01:18:28,440 --> 01:18:31,720
and thought it may
have been tuberculosis.

1077
01:18:32,640 --> 01:18:34,440
I ended up in intensive care.

1078
01:18:48,440 --> 01:18:50,920
- It was a high-profile case

1079
01:18:50,920 --> 01:18:53,680
and attracted media attention.

1080
01:18:54,720 --> 01:18:58,600
The atmosphere in court was
everyone wanted the truth.

1081
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:03,760
- I received a call to go
and testify in his trial.

1082
01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:07,600
By this time, I had a full
understanding of what happened

1083
01:19:07,600 --> 01:19:10,960
to Christine Robinson,
so to go and testify

1084
01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:13,800
in that instance is
extremely important to do.

1085
01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:17,840
- Lehanne sent me a message
with all the details

1086
01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:19,600
concerning the trial.

1087
01:19:20,080 --> 01:19:22,480
I say to myself, they will get him.

1088
01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:23,640
They will get him,

1089
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:27,200
but you
never know with the judge.

1090
01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:37,960
- Five counts were put to the accused
on which he pleaded not guilty.

1091
01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:43,680
- He's not showing a response.

1092
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:46,200
If he had committed that crime,

1093
01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:48,720
he was showing
absolutely zero remorse.

1094
01:19:48,720 --> 01:19:50,560
- He looked confident

1095
01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:53,240
that we did not have
anything against him.

1096
01:19:55,520 --> 01:19:58,120
We don't have a jury,
decided by the judge,

1097
01:19:59,600 --> 01:20:02,720
under this case, I did not
do an opening statement.

1098
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:06,760
I said to the judge,
let me paint a picture.

1099
01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:11,280
So after I gave the plea explanation,

1100
01:20:11,280 --> 01:20:13,040
I called my witnesses.

1101
01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:19,160
The first witness that I
called was the police officer

1102
01:20:19,160 --> 01:20:20,560
who came at the scene.

1103
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:23,480
I then presented the photographs,

1104
01:20:23,560 --> 01:20:26,320
the place itself where she was found.

1105
01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:30,120
You can see that there was a fight
inside that particular bedroom.

1106
01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:36,960
- The state then called the witness,
Mr. Cormor known as Hope.

1107
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:41,680
He testified that on
the 30th of July, 2014,

1108
01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:43,440
he received a telephone call

1109
01:20:43,440 --> 01:20:46,240
from the accused
around about 6:00 AM.

1110
01:20:46,840 --> 01:20:49,360
- Hope was the friend
who transported him,

1111
01:20:49,440 --> 01:20:53,080
Andrea promised him money
to take him to the border.

1112
01:20:55,680 --> 01:20:58,720
While in transit, he was
threatened with a knife.

1113
01:21:02,120 --> 01:21:03,920
- The state called the third witness,

1114
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:06,000
the ex-girlfriend of the accused.

1115
01:21:06,520 --> 01:21:08,960
She testified that they
were in a relationship

1116
01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:11,000
for three years in July 2014.

1117
01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:18,400
- While in transit,
Andrea called his girlfriend.

1118
01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:22,920
He said, I'm on my
way home, Zimbabwe,

1119
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:28,040
but I just murdered the white
lady that stays at Rra-Ditau Lodge.

1120
01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:36,880
Under the South African law, it's a
confession made to a private person

1121
01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:39,160
so it is admissible in court.

1122
01:21:40,400 --> 01:21:46,000
- I had no idea that this
woman was on anybody's radar.

1123
01:21:46,240 --> 01:21:48,520
I knew nothing about this witness.

1124
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:51,720
I discovered the prosecutor,

1125
01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:54,280
George looked at their case file

1126
01:21:54,360 --> 01:21:57,040
six months before
Andrew was arrested,

1127
01:21:58,320 --> 01:22:00,160
was just a crazy turn of events.

1128
01:22:01,200 --> 01:22:05,000
- We do a lot in
preparation before arrest,

1129
01:22:05,080 --> 01:22:07,120
I realised that there were statements

1130
01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:09,080
that ought to have been taken.

1131
01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:11,080
For instance, the girlfriend

1132
01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:18,320
and I then realized
that there was DNA,

1133
01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:20,240
which was obtained from the deceased,

1134
01:22:20,680 --> 01:22:23,120
but there was no one to match with.

1135
01:22:24,040 --> 01:22:26,640
Fortunately, there was an arrest.

1136
01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:31,760
I requested the police to
obtain the DNA from the accused.

1137
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:34,200
The result came back
and he was positive.

1138
01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:39,640
This person is the one
who deposited semen.

1139
01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:48,640
- It was at that point I was
more certain that it was Andrea

1140
01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:51,520
and they'd arrested the right man.

1141
01:22:56,520 --> 01:22:59,240
- The day after, the
accused will have a turn

1142
01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:00,840
to go into the witness box

1143
01:23:00,840 --> 01:23:03,040
and then it'll be my turn
to

1144
01:23:04,040 --> 01:23:08,480
But in court,
the accused denied everything.

1145
01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:12,040
His plea explanation
was to the effect

1146
01:23:12,040 --> 01:23:14,600
that he was in love
with the deceased.

1147
01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:19,560
- His evidence was he did
not murder the accused

1148
01:23:20,320 --> 01:23:25,480
and she consented to
the sexual intercourse.

1149
01:23:27,480 --> 01:23:29,440
- To my mind, he was lying.

1150
01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:31,600
It was an alibi just to get him off,

1151
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:33,280
but I wasn't in the courtroom.

1152
01:23:33,360 --> 01:23:36,280
I couldn't read the
faces of the judge.

1153
01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:39,280
I didn't know how convincing he was.

1154
01:23:40,600 --> 01:23:44,520
- The defence argument
in short was the evidence

1155
01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:47,560
of the state was based substantially

1156
01:23:47,640 --> 01:23:49,600
on circumstantial evidence.

1157
01:23:50,400 --> 01:23:53,240
They plot an application

1158
01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:55,960
to discharge the accused
on all the accounts,

1159
01:23:57,360 --> 01:24:02,000
but the state advocate
aggressively opposed the argument.

1160
01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:08,600
- Hey, Lehanne.
- Yeah, please don't feel negative

1161
01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:09,640
about the case.

1162
01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:13,160
I mean, obviously they would
have to give him an opportunity

1163
01:24:13,160 --> 01:24:16,600
to make his case, stay positive.

1164
01:24:16,680 --> 01:24:19,360
We'll see what happens and
we'll take it from there.

1165
01:24:27,440 --> 01:24:29,760
- I will make closing argument

1166
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:31,640
to try and persuade the court

1167
01:24:31,640 --> 01:24:34,520
that what I have is strong
against the accused.

1168
01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:38,360
- His argument was based on the fact

1169
01:24:38,440 --> 01:24:41,000
that there was a prevention
from the accused.

1170
01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:43,960
The state also argued

1171
01:24:44,040 --> 01:24:46,960
that the court must
take into consideration

1172
01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:52,240
that it is clear that the
accused was a man on the run.

1173
01:24:56,480 --> 01:24:58,240
- It'll now be left to the court

1174
01:24:58,320 --> 01:25:00,640
to decide whether the
accused is guilty or not.

1175
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:09,440
It hadn't been a smooth
ride to get to this point.

1176
01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:13,360
- The judge comes to court.

1177
01:25:15,160 --> 01:25:16,320
We all stand up.

1178
01:25:17,880 --> 01:25:22,400
I had the fear
that he was still going to walk away.

1179
01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:29,360
But was never certain that
he was going to be convicted.

1180
01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:33,840
- The verdict was
delivered in an open court.

1181
01:25:38,360 --> 01:25:42,080
She did not find him
guilty on robbery

1182
01:25:42,080 --> 01:25:43,640
with aggravating circumstances.

1183
01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:50,240
Then she found the
accused guilty of murder

1184
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:52,400
and the rape.

1185
01:25:59,160 --> 01:26:02,400
The death of Christine
touched a lot of people.

1186
01:26:05,280 --> 01:26:09,120
She was somebody who was
lovable, friendly with people.

1187
01:26:12,480 --> 01:26:15,720
I believe I brought
justice to the families.

1188
01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:29,560
I was so insanely happy
about what had happened,

1189
01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:34,720
but I was in a room by myself.

1190
01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:38,360
I was detached from
the whole situation

1191
01:26:42,040 --> 01:26:44,640
and then the ward sister came in

1192
01:26:46,280 --> 01:26:48,640
and I just cried and
cried and I was just,

1193
01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:54,040
the man that murdered my
aunt had been found guilty.

1194
01:26:56,480 --> 01:26:59,040
- Hi, Lehanne.
- I'm tremendously happy

1195
01:26:59,880 --> 01:27:05,400
and I hope this provides some closure
and relief to you and your family.

1196
01:27:09,280 --> 01:27:13,800
- As far as I know,
Andrew doesn't know

1197
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:17,880
the role that Missy
Falcao had in his arrest.

1198
01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:20,400
Would
you like him to know?

1199
01:27:22,240 --> 01:27:23,320
- Yes. 1

1200
01:27:25,160 --> 01:27:28,640
It really sickened me
as to what I was doing at the time,

1201
01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:34,960
but Chris lost her life brutally

1202
01:27:35,680 --> 01:27:37,320
that she needed justice.

1203
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:42,560
That's what drove me to keep going,

1204
01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:50,080
and after all this time,

1205
01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:53,400
everything had come together.

1206
01:27:58,200 --> 01:28:01,240
- I think that finally,
there is a justice.

1207
01:28:01,320 --> 01:28:03,200
He will pay for what he did.

1208
01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:05,920
He will not pay enough for me, never.

1209
01:28:07,400 --> 01:28:10,600
- Knowing what he had done,
you want him to be punished.

1210
01:28:11,720 --> 01:28:15,160
This was the conclusion of something
that had started years before.

1211
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:19,080
It's something that you sort of hope
happens in every instance.

1212
01:28:20,360 --> 01:28:22,720
- It's easy to actually lose hope.

1213
01:28:24,480 --> 01:28:28,520
The conviction was one of
the most satisfying feelings

1214
01:28:29,240 --> 01:28:33,200
and what makes it special
is to see the reaction of the family.

1215
01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:39,640
We were obviously relieved,

1216
01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:41,520
but then we had to
wait for sentencing.

1217
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:45,240
- It felt really important to me

1218
01:28:45,240 --> 01:28:48,280
that there was a victim
impact statement.

1219
01:28:48,280 --> 01:28:50,640
I was led to believe it'd have
some weight with the judge,

1220
01:28:50,640 --> 01:28:51,840
with the sentencing,

1221
01:28:52,240 --> 01:28:56,200
and it was really quite difficult.

1222
01:28:56,280 --> 01:28:58,800
I was in hospital, I hadn't slept,

1223
01:28:59,440 --> 01:29:02,240
but I felt I had come this far,

1224
01:29:04,160 --> 01:29:05,920
I had to write this statement.

1225
01:29:15,440 --> 01:29:19,240
I can clearly remember
the day I received

1226
01:29:19,240 --> 01:29:21,440
the devastating phone
call that my aunt,

1227
01:29:21,440 --> 01:29:24,400
Christine Robertson had
been raped and murdered.

1228
01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:27,640
That day changed my life forever.

1229
01:29:29,400 --> 01:29:33,680
Her violent death turned
my world upside down.

1230
01:29:35,520 --> 01:29:37,400
I have a chronic lung condition.

1231
01:29:37,480 --> 01:29:40,720
In fact, I'm currently in hospital
as I write this statement,

1232
01:29:43,520 --> 01:29:45,240
I'm unable to attend court.

1233
01:29:45,920 --> 01:29:47,960
Please do not take
this as a reflection

1234
01:29:48,040 --> 01:29:49,920
that Christine wasn't cherished.

1235
01:29:51,520 --> 01:29:53,040
Her life had value,

1236
01:29:54,400 --> 01:29:56,080
meaning and happiness.

1237
01:29:59,160 --> 01:30:03,200
Christine was kind,
honest, charismatic

1238
01:30:03,200 --> 01:30:05,120
and moreover, she was brave.

1239
01:30:07,560 --> 01:30:11,040
Christine was a much loved sister,
aunt, stepmother

1240
01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:13,600
and a dear friend to many
people all over the world.

1241
01:30:15,840 --> 01:30:20,840
Christine's life was taken
by a vile cowardly predator

1242
01:30:20,840 --> 01:30:23,120
who subjected her
to the most horrific

1243
01:30:23,200 --> 01:30:25,960
and terrifying death
simply because he could.

1244
01:30:28,200 --> 01:30:30,800
His actions stole her future

1245
01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:34,160
and had a huge impact on all
of her friends and family.

1246
01:30:35,440 --> 01:30:36,840
For all of us, we realized

1247
01:30:36,920 --> 01:30:39,160
that our lives would
never be the same again.

1248
01:30:41,240 --> 01:30:43,960
Not only has he stolen
Christine's future

1249
01:30:44,040 --> 01:30:45,800
in the most violent of ways,

1250
01:30:46,600 --> 01:30:48,320
but he has stolen the joy

1251
01:30:51,360 --> 01:30:53,320
of sharing our lives with her.

1252
01:30:58,560 --> 01:31:01,320
He didn't even have the
decency to plead guilty.

1253
01:31:02,440 --> 01:31:06,160
He did not count on the kindness
of the people of South Africa

1254
01:31:06,240 --> 01:31:10,040
to be so alarmed by his crime
that they wanted to help.

1255
01:31:12,720 --> 01:31:14,600
I could not bear the thought

1256
01:31:14,680 --> 01:31:16,960
that he could do the
same to someone else.

1257
01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:19,760
I couldn't have it on my conscience.

1258
01:31:20,640 --> 01:31:21,680
Can you?

1259
01:31:23,600 --> 01:31:25,240
You have the final say.

1260
01:31:26,840 --> 01:31:30,320
I asked that you sentence
to the maximum sentence

1261
01:31:30,320 --> 01:31:32,440
permitted under South African law.

1262
01:31:42,240 --> 01:31:47,840
Andrew was given two life sentences,

1263
01:31:47,920 --> 01:31:51,520
which is the maximum
sentence that could be given.

1264
01:31:56,600 --> 01:31:58,240
It's not gonna bring her back,

1265
01:31:59,880 --> 01:32:04,320
but I'm pleased he was found guilty

1266
01:32:04,320 --> 01:32:07,520
and I'm pleased that his
freedom's been taken away.

1267
01:32:07,520 --> 01:32:12,240
But more importantly,
I'm pleased he can never hurt anybody

1268
01:32:12,240 --> 01:32:15,160
or do what he's done to
someone like that again.

1269
01:32:18,120 --> 01:32:20,520
- It is a very good
inspirational story.

1270
01:32:20,520 --> 01:32:23,160
What Lehanne did, it was commendable.

1271
01:32:24,800 --> 01:32:26,120
- It's really, it's unbelievable.

1272
01:32:26,880 --> 01:32:28,240
She's still stuck to it,

1273
01:32:28,240 --> 01:32:30,560
if it was not for Lehanne,
this case would not have been solved

1274
01:32:30,560 --> 01:32:33,520
in the next many years,
if it would have been solved.

1275
01:32:35,520 --> 01:32:39,000
- What Lehanne managed to do was
actually give a lot of people hope

1276
01:32:39,080 --> 01:32:41,440
by not only being determined,

1277
01:32:41,520 --> 01:32:44,440
but by actually deciding
that she's not gonna wait

1278
01:32:44,440 --> 01:32:46,480
for someone else to do it for her.

1279
01:32:46,480 --> 01:32:49,960
Organization I worked for
at that stage was an NGO,

1280
01:32:49,960 --> 01:32:52,560
combating violence against
women and children,

1281
01:32:52,640 --> 01:32:53,920
and after this,

1282
01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:57,080
it was such a massive
motivation to us to say,

1283
01:32:57,080 --> 01:32:59,280
you don't have to wait for
government to do everything.

1284
01:32:59,280 --> 01:33:00,440
Just get it done.

1285
01:33:01,320 --> 01:33:04,120
- Highlighting this
story is essential.

1286
01:33:04,200 --> 01:33:06,120
Gender-based violence and femicide.

1287
01:33:06,120 --> 01:33:08,920
People don't know about
it and yet it's happening.

1288
01:33:09,520 --> 01:33:12,040
This is the reality
that we are dealing with

1289
01:33:12,120 --> 01:33:13,960
and what are we gonna do about it?

1290
01:33:17,080 --> 01:33:20,440
- We have amazing examples
of groups of women

1291
01:33:20,440 --> 01:33:22,480
that have started to fight back,

1292
01:33:24,120 --> 01:33:26,280
to make their communities safe.

1293
01:33:28,440 --> 01:33:31,640
People realize that they can
actually get involved somehow,

1294
01:33:32,480 --> 01:33:34,000
not only to speak out,

1295
01:33:34,080 --> 01:33:36,040
but to actually do
something about it.

1296
01:33:38,000 --> 01:33:42,440
- There's so much violence
and misogyny against women.

1297
01:33:42,520 --> 01:33:46,200
Unless people speak out,
change is never gonna happen.

1298
01:33:59,360 --> 01:34:01,480
If this journey's taught me anything,

1299
01:34:01,560 --> 01:34:05,000
it's taught me never
to give up on anything

1300
01:34:05,080 --> 01:34:09,520
and it's only by pursuing
what you think is right

1301
01:34:09,600 --> 01:34:13,320
and being tenacious, being noisy,

1302
01:34:13,840 --> 01:34:15,600
making yourself a nuisance.

1303
01:34:16,680 --> 01:34:18,640
It might just help one person

1304
01:34:18,640 --> 01:34:21,600
and if it helps one person,
then that's good enough.

1305
01:34:25,880 --> 01:34:27,720
What
do you think Christine

1306
01:34:27,800 --> 01:34:30,040
would say about what you did?

1307
01:34:32,800 --> 01:34:34,360
- I think she'd probably think--

1308
01:34:36,880 --> 01:34:39,720
it was pretty gutsy, a bit foolish.

1309
01:34:41,400 --> 01:34:44,200
But deep down, I think--

1310
01:34:48,720 --> 01:34:51,160
I think she'd have
done the same for me.
