Episode 15 - The Wemmer Pan Serial Killer

In 1997, the man who had been hunting young couples at Wemmer Pan for a year was arrested. There was another maniac stalking the streets of Johannesburg though, attacking and killing tailors with a hammer. Police would soon discover that the Wemmer Pan serial killer was actually also the Hammer Killer and there were many more horrendous crimes to be added to his list. Cedric Maake rewrote the textbooks on serial killers using five different methods of killing, no clear victim profile and the ability to adapt his viciousness to any situation.
