Louis van Schoor

Sybrand Jacobus Lodewikus "Louis" van Schoor, known as the Apartheid Killer, was a South African mass killer, policeman, and security guard who committed murders between 1986 and 1989. He was arrested in 1991 and convicted of seven murders and two attempted murders but was released on parole in 2004. It is believed that the total number of his victims was 39, all of them in East London, South Africa. Thirty-two of the killings were described as "justifiable homicides" by police, while Schoor himself insisted that his victims were "criminals" whom he had caught in the act.
