The simple lure of a serial criminal

-

Most serial murderers and rapists will approach a complete stranger in the middle of town‚ at a taxi rank or a bus stop‚ and offer them a job‚ according to Dr Gerard Labuschagn­e. He investigat­ed more than 200 serial rape cases from 2002 to 2016 when he was the head of the police’s forensic psychology unit. “You don’t have to be well dressed‚ you don’t need to drive a Porsche‚ all you have to say is: ‘Do you want a job? It pays R200 a day.’ And they’ll go with you‚ as simple as that”
