An apartheid era mass killer tells his story- what can South Africa learn from the past?
\u2018The Apartheid Killer\u2019 is the latest investigation from the BBC Africa Eye team. Filmed over four years, it tells the story of Louis van Schoor, an ex-police officer turned security guard who in the late 1980's terrorised and killed at least 39 people in the South African city of East London. All of his victims were black and the youngest was just 12 years old. \n \nHe was finally arrested in 1991. But was released from prison after just over a decade in jail. \n \nMore than 30 of Louis van Schoor\u2019s killings are still categorised as \u2018justifiable homicides\u2019 by police today. In his version of events, he\u2019d caught the people he killed breaking into the white-owned businesses he was employed to protect and says he acted \u201cwithin the law.\u201d \n \nIn today\u2019s episode, Mpho Lakaje speaks to Marlene Mvumbi, the sister of a man murdered by van Schoor and the co-director of \u2018The Apartheid Killer\u2019 freelance filmmaker and journalist Isa Jacobson.
