Louis van Schoor：我承认在执行任务时曾感到害怕，并在一次事件中误将自己的倒影射杀。我的杀戮行为是正当的，因为我是在自卫或阻止罪犯逃逸。我从小接受严格的纪律教育，在种族隔离的环境中长大，这影响了我的行为。我在警犬队服役期间，将猎杀黑人视为一种‘狩猎’，我并不后悔。在汉堡餐厅的枪击事件中，孩子们试图攻击我。 Ayanda Charlie & Charlie Northcote：Louis van Schoor 的杀戮行为随着时间推移变得更加残暴，但他声称自己只是在履行职责。他的日记记录了大量日常生活琐事，却很少提及杀戮。他曾对自己的行为有过短暂的怀疑，但很快便否定了这种怀疑。他的成长经历和在警犬队的服役经历塑造了他的扭曲心理。在汉堡餐厅的枪击事件中，一名儿童幸存下来，并提供了与Van Schoor证词相矛盾的证言，这质疑了Van Schoor的证词的真实性。 Isa Jacobson：Louis van Schoor 属于南非警察部队中一个残酷的精英特遣队——警犬队，他们对黑人进行残酷的虐待。南非种族隔离时期的法律允许Van Schoor 的杀戮行为，这使得他能够逍遥法外多年。

The making of mass murderer Louis van Schoor. The “apartheid killer” was part of a system which enabled the shootings as “justifiable homicide”. As we investigate one of his most horrific crimes, we begin to expose the web of lies surrounding the killings and ask: how were they covered up?

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

Please note, this episode of World of Secrets includes descriptions of violence and torture, which some listeners may find distressing.

Season 3 of World of Secrets is a collaboration with the BBC World Service investigations unit, Africa Eye. Here’s a link to the BBC Africa Eye film, which we recommend you watch after listening to this podcast: https://youtu.be/QPB42_uLLh0
