Starting in South Africa, Luke and Jordan hitch all the way to the DRC, traversing countries such as Botswana and Namibia to Zambia and Tanzania.

What the Killer Did Next
Channel: Crime + Investigation (DStv 170)
TX Time: 20h50
Genre: True Crime, Documentary Series
When a murderer kills, what do they choose to do in the following minutes, hours and days after their crime? What do those choices tell us about the mind of that killer?
Each episode begins with the gruesome murder of a victim, a dramatic Columbo-esque kickstart to the story. We know who did it, how it was done and then the cat and mouse game begin.
The story splits into two parallel narratives: the ensuing movements of the murderer, seeing what they did next and that of the police teams who are on the ground, finding the clues and solving the mystery; and finally, bringing perpetrators to justice.
