Huisgenoot Ware Lewensdramas: Vlees en Bloed
Huisgenoot Ware Lewensdramas: Vlees en Bloed is a gripping spin-off of the popular true-crime series revisiting true-life stories that made the headlines from the perspective of the journalists who covered the cases for one of South Africa’s oldest and best-loved publications.
Vlees en Bloed focuses on the most shocking cases of familicide in South Africa, investigating some of the darkest family secrets, how a traumatic childhood can lead to dangerous behaviour and even looking at the satanic hysteria of the early 1990’s.
Sometimes the person you should be afraid of most is sleeping under the same roof as you.
