Episode 1 – The Murder of Charmaine Mare

Episode 1 – The Murder of Charmaine Mare

I chose Charmaine's story to cover first because I hadn't heard about the case before I saw it on a short documentary on television. I was surprised as I tend to follow cases like these quite voraciously but then I realised that Charmaine's murder took place just a month before Oscar Pistorius shot Reeva Steenkamp in February 2013.

Even non-true crime junkies know how that case exploded all over the media so Charmaine was pushed aside, her story relegated to third-page news, while South Africa took in every salacious detail of the Oscar trial. Charmaine's story is, therefore, a perfect example of the type of case I want to cover here on True Crime South Africa. She may not have been famous or a model or dating a superstar athlete, but Charmaine
deserved the same support from the public as Reeva did for they were both taken far too soon, and neither deserved the horrendous endings they got.
