True crime
South Africa has had its share of sensational crimes murders, rapes kidnappings and robberies which have both fascinated and horrified the public. Most South African's have heard of André Stander and the Stander Gang or the screwdriver rapist. Some may even recall the theft of the Oppenheimer jewels in 1955, or the Bubbles Schroeder murder in 1949. But Famous South African Crimes also includes the stories of the Foster Gang, the notorious Daisy de Melker and Dorothea Kraft, the first woman hanged in the Union of South Africa. Then there was the murder of Baron von Schauroth which gave rise to a new class of murder: murder on request; and Duncan Donald Moodie, the only man in South African legal history to be tried, sentenced and convicted twice for the same murder.
In Famous South-African Crimes, Rob Marsh takes a penetrating look behind the scenes and, based on meticulous research, retells the en-thralling stories of South Africa's most infamous criminals.
