Murder in Mooinooi | The Violation of Joey & Anisha van Niekerk

Explicit content warning

06/30/21 • 105 min

When Joey and Anisha van Niekerk didn’t arrive in Pretoria for Joey’s father’s funeral on December 11th, 2017, their families knew something was wrong and drove to the women’s farm in Mooinooi, in North West Province. They found the farm untouched but, when they encountered Koos Strydom, who rented a workshop from the couple, his story didn’t quite add up. This is the story of how greed brought about the senseless murder of two women all because of a farm.

Bloody Valentine: Part II | The Shooting of Larry King

On February 12th, 2008, Larry King was shot twice in the back of the head by Brandon McInerney, a fellow student in his English class, all because Larry had made the fatal error of asking Brandon to be his Valentine and many blamed the school for failing to protect the perpetrator from his victim (no, you read that correctly).
In Part 2, we explore the aftermath and the trial, and Nj also discusses the scourge of American school shootings from an outsider’s perspective.

Upstairs Horror in Downtown New Orleans: Part I | The Arson of the UpStairs Lounge

When gay New Orleanians headed out to the UpStairs Lounge in the French Quarter on Sunday, June 24th, 1973, they had no idea that many of them would never be returning home. A fire started in the main stairwell leading up to the bar quickly spread, as patrons desperately tried to escape the burning building. Until the Pulse Nightclub Massacre in 2016, this was the worst loss of Queer life in American history.
In Part 1, we meet some of the people involved and try to make sense of why one man would do this to 32 of his own people.
