When the former head of the SAPS investigative psychology section, Dr Gerard Labuschagne, interviewed Thabo Bester in 2011, he “found him to be a smart guy, intelligent, very well spoken.”
The former head of the SAPS investigative psychology section, who dealt with some of South Africa’s worst serial murderers and rapists, Dr Gerard Labuschagne, interviewed the so-called Facebook rapist, Thabo Bester, in 2011.
Bester is on the run after an audacious escape from a Mangaung prison last year, where he was serving a life sentence for rape and murder. “His con story was more sophisticated as he used Facebook. He would meet his victims and spend time with them so it was high-risk and more complicated,” said Labuschagne.Bester’s financial crimes seem to have worsened since he was imprisoned in 2011.
“However, it seems he has a financial backer. The media has been reporting about a woman who is possibly in some relationship with him that probably helped him get this going.”
