‘The ABC Killer’: Showmax Drops Trailer For Doc Series On “South Africa’s Ted Bundy”


Showmax has dropped a trailer for 'The ABC Killer', which explores the case of South African serial killer Moses Sithole.

Like Boetie Boer, the show uses extensive reenactments, mostly filmed in the real-world locations such as The Star ‘s offices, Germiston Train Station, Pretoria High Court and the factory where Sithole was finally caught. Contributions come from the likes of South African profiler Micki Pistorius, former Ettiene ‘Vinyl’ Viljoen, Frans van Niekerk, Paul Nkomo and Derrick Nosworthy, who says, “This was the biggest case of our history at the time. Deputy national prosecutor George Baloyi revisits his case against Sithole, and attorneys Anthony Richards and Eben Jordaan discuss their defence of him, while survivor Buyiswa Swakhamisu relives the day of her attack and her own brave pursuit of justice.
