This week: one of the rarest — and most horrifying — crimes on earth. A baby ripped from the womb in a violent act of theft.

We go deep into the case of Loretta Cook, a 24-year-old from Toekomsrus, whose web of lies led to murder and left a newborn fighting for life.

South Africa has seen not one, but at least three known caesarean kidnappings — an almost unheard-of crime globally. Why here? Why now?

Gerard Labuschagne and Paul Llewellyn unpack:

Why women fake pregnancies and kill to make them real

How these crimes are planned, not impulsive

What forensic psychology reveals about killers who seem "normal"

And how society’s pressure to be a mother can turn deadly

🔪 This is true crime at its most disturbing — and most revealing.

He murdered his family with an axe — thencalmly called emergency services like nothing happened.

We're digging into one of South Africa’s mostshocking crimes: the brutal axe murders committed by 20-year-old Henri van Breda.

In 2015, inside the family’s luxury estate inStellenbosch, Henri killed his parents and brother—and nearly murdered his teenage sister, who somehow survived. The aftermath? A strange 911 call, self-inflicted wounds, and a trial that exposed chilling levels of control, detachment, and deceit.

What turns a privileged young man into a familyannihilator? What does the psychology say about motive, manipulation, and remorse? And how close did he come to getting away with it?

We unpack the twisted mind behind the massacre,the forensic psychology, and the courtroom battle that followed. With expert insight from Dr. Gerard Labuschagne, former head of SAPS’ Investigative Psychology Unit.
