Welcome to the Episode 47 of Murder & Mayhem: South African True Crime.

About the episode:

Imagine your life is just beginning, you have big plans for the future and a spirit yearning for adventure. Only to have it all stolen in the blink of an eye.

In the coastal city of Durban in Kwa-Zulu Natal, a grim tale of tragedy unfolded in January of 2018. A 20 year old woman with her whole life ahead of her was kidnapped, her body later discovered burnt almost beyond recognition. The paths of many would intersect as the chilling events that followed gripped the nation- uncovering a sinister never ending interconnected web of secrets and lies.

As private investigators unravelled the mystery of the events leading uptown her death, a story of obsession, deception and a history and pattern of disturbing behaviour would come to light. Although many truths would be uncovered, some questions would still remain up in the air, even to this day.

This is a journey into the light that was this girl and the darkness that stole her from this world. This is the story of an enduring and exhausting battle for truth and justice. This is the story of a girl who loved deeply, lived authentically and embraced life in every way of form.

This is Siam Lee’s story.
