Durban, March 2011.
Four men murdered in eight days — two decapitated. All strangers. All ambushed and hacked to death with an axe.

The killer: Joseph Phindile Ntshongwana, former Blue Bulls flanker whose life collapsed into delusion, paranoia, and violent psychosis.
Family saw the warning signs — hallucinations, erratic behaviour, and a fixed belief in a daughter who didn’t exist.

In this episode, forensic psychologist Prof Gerard Labuschagne joins host Paul Llewellyn to unpack how the murders were linked, what the forensic evidence proved, where delusion meets legal responsibility, and why every appeal failed.
