CCTV footage identifies the time as 02:48am on Friday 28 April. Within hours‚ Mokoena would die at the hands of her boyfriend Sandile Mantsoe.

From Mantsoe’s confession to his subsequent insistence that Mokoena had killed herself‚ this story examines how law enforcement officials tried to get inside the head of a man they believe is one of South Africa’s most heartless killers.
