THE SWAZILAND SERIAL KILLER: SILENCE OF THE BONES

Cinemavixion Review

This documentary delves into the chilling case of David Simelane, accused of murdering approximately 35 women and five children in Swaziland around 2001. The victims' bodies were discovered in the Malkerns forest, often identified only by their clothing. Simelane allegedly confessed and led authorities to the grim discovery sites. The subsequent trial, seven years in the making, has been plagued by controversy, including witness intimidation and even a suicide attempt by the accused. As the longest trial in Swazi history, it raises profound questions about the nature of justice, the reliability of testimony, and the potential for a broader criminal syndicate involved in organ harvesting, or if Simelane is solely responsible for these horrific acts.
