Topics
路易斯·范·斯科尔:范·斯科尔在采访中承认自己杀害了大量的人,但他声称自己是在执行任务,对自己的行为不后悔,并且认为自己是被南非警方利用的替罪羊。他否认自己有罪恶感,并对自己的行为进行辩解,将责任推卸给南非的政治局势和警方的纵容。他回忆起在警局受到欢迎,并声称自己得到了警方的支持和保护,所有警官都知道他的所作所为,但没有人阻止他。他认为自己被选中作为替罪羊,以掩盖警方的责任。 萨布丽娜·范·斯科尔:萨布丽娜对杀害母亲的行为表示深深的悔恨,并与父亲形成了鲜明对比。她承认自己的错误,并寻求原谅,这与父亲的态度截然不同。她认为父亲的健康状况恶化与其未能直面自己的罪行有关。她描述了父亲在医院中出现的幻觉,认为这可能是他良心的谴责。 肖恩:作为萨布丽娜的丈夫,肖恩认为范·斯科尔应该为自己的罪行道歉,并承担责任。他认为范·斯科尔对自己的所作所为缺乏悔恨,这将导致内心的煎熬和疾病。 伊莎·雅各布森:伊莎作为记者,通过调查揭露了范·斯科尔更多未被起诉的罪行,并指出司法系统对受害者的漠视。她与范·斯科尔进行了多次对质,试图让他承认罪行并为受害者伸张正义。 马琳和雷蒙德·苏尼斯:作为受害者家属,马琳和雷蒙德经历了长期的痛苦和等待,最终为他们的亲人举行了迟来的葬礼,这象征着他们寻求慰藉和疗伤的开始。他们表示,范·斯科尔已经无法再对他们造成伤害,他们已经获得了内心的平静。 旁白:旁白对整个事件进行了总结和叙述,揭示了范·斯科尔罪行的严重性和南非种族隔离制度下的系统性暴力问题。旁白还强调了真相与和解委员会的局限性以及许多种族隔离时期罪犯逍遥法外的现实。 萨布丽娜·范·斯科尔:萨布丽娜对杀害母亲的行为表示深深的悔恨,并与父亲形成了鲜明对比。她承认自己的错误,并寻求原谅,这与父亲的态度截然不同。她认为父亲的健康状况恶化与其未能直面自己的罪行有关。她描述了父亲在医院中出现的幻觉,认为这可能是他良心的谴责。

Shownotes Transcript

How many people did Louis van Schoor really kill? We reveal he carried out many more shootings than he was tried for. He said the police knew about them and supported him – that he had been made a scapegoat. Did he feel any remorse? What of the family of Edward Soenies, murdered by van Schoor? After 35 years, how have they tried to re-build their lives?

The van Schoor case represents one of many apartheid crimes. It was part of a much wider, systematic terror - the legacy of which has left a trail of trauma still being felt across South Africa today.

Since this episode was recorded, it has been announced that Louis van Schoor died, on 25 July 2024. This was a four-year investigation and the interviews with Louis van Schoor were recorded in 2022 and 2023.
