The Krugersdorp Murders - Part 1
Eish, That's DarkPlay episode
Show notes
Krugersdorp, 2012. A woman claiming to be a high-ranking witch fleeing the satanic church walks into a West Rand ministry, and instead of doubt, she finds devotion. Within five years she's assembled her own chosen people, bound by tattoos, terror and murder. She will never touch a weapon, but people will die.
In part one of this two-part series, Liz takes Jess and traces how a country primed by decades of satanic panic handed Cecilia Steyn exactly the audience she needed. And how a schoolteacher, an insurance broker and a fourteen-year-old girl ended up inside a group calling itself Electus per Deus. Chosen by God.
Content warning: this episode discusses murder, religious manipulation and coercive control, claims of ritual abuse, and violence committed by a minor. Listener discretion advised.
