- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- In this episode of True Crime Room, hosted by Derek Riedle, we unravel the shocking and tragic case of Jacques du Plessis, a husband and father whose life ended in his own home under chilling circumstances. Initially, his wife, Mariska du Plessis, claimed an intruder walked in and shot him. But the truth was far more sinister.
Thanks to the detailed footage captured by multiple CCTV cameras in their home, investigators uncovered a web of lies and deception, ultimately revealing Mariska as the perpetrator. What led her to commit this unthinkable act? Was it premeditated, or did something snap in their relationship?

The pain in my heart is unbearable, my husband leaving our marriage have put a ton in my heart, I have been telling myself am strong enough but am not sure I am, I haven’t been able to get him of my mind, I just want him back
This is a very familiar pain. I know how unbearable it feels
Did you go through similar situation and how did you deal with it?
Yes I did but I got my partner back with the help of a spiritual Counsellor Father Akabu. He has a gift for restoring broken relationships
Do you think he can help me?
I’m sure he can. You can find him online he’s a very powerful spiritualist
Love this channel guys. So nice to see RSA true crime stuff.
Both shameful people. Never respecting the fact that they were parents and should have been a example to their child.
We are hearing about her bad upbringing, but no explanation for his upbringing, and what caused him to not be able to hold down a job, his drinking & drugs.
What was the cause of the accident that killed his first wife? Was alcohol involved?
He was a major sexist, racist, alcoholic, lazy and perverted. He refused to work for black people, refused to hold a job, drank a 12 pack beer on Christmas day, groped my mom on front of me, threw his baby around in anger. He was terrible. I saw everything
They removed my previous comment. Why don't they want the truth? Jacques grew up in a home where his father hit his mother. He drank everyday, he groped my mom, he was a racist, refused to work, he was sexist and he was lazy. I will keep commenting thr truth you won't get rid of me
They keep removing my comments, why? Don't you want the truth??? Jacques grew up in a home where his father hit his mother.

I also find it very suspicious how his previous wife died. I grew up with this man. I know the truth. If you want the truth, ask the children. We see and experience everything
Why is an American doing a programme on South Africans? They don't understand anything at all about any culture in SA and there are very MANY, actually way too many, different cultures here.
A collaboration between Canadian & SA creators - this is sometimes how these things happen due to lack of available resources locally - all made in SA by Saffers - all SA stories...best we can do...hope that this explains. Btw - the more local members we get, the more we are empowered to not have to seek funds elsewhere...just sayin! You're also welcome to support at patreon.com/profilerafrica ...
There is many homes in South Africa like this.
So glad I have never come accross any of them.
His mother says that the wife should've left ....nope,it's her house. He should have left! Sad that the wife enabled him to be unemployed and still have a roof over his head
He just spent her money and drank and got aggressive when he did
The Friend is so judgemental and opiniated. Craving attention
Bev was one of her close friends. I would be so ashamed if I was Bev now saying this
She knew what she went through
This is an enabling mom. She must have known that her son was abusive. Not much about that. Prob added fuel to the fire in their relationship too. Basically blaming Mariska for everything.
Jacques mom loves to tell her own story
She definitely knew about her son as is pretending not to
He was not abusive , she was the abuser. That is a fact.
@JDG-qi6he who are you? I grew up with this man. The number of times I saw bruises on her face, body, saw her in pain, hiding injuries. I was a kid, and I saw everything. Kids don't lie. Kids see everything. I saw him groping my mom, drink a 12 pack of beer on Christmas day before the sun went down, and saw him throw his own baby around. I saw a lot of things and I can ates to that
Its being put all on her. In the few scenes he makes physical contact first. She is just verbal. He is not backing down at all. He is not an angel....and equally to blame. The sentence was correct. What happened to the child and those dogs?
They are definitely not showing everything. They're not showing him pinning her to the ground, strangling her, hitting their son, slapping her, kicking her. None of that is being shown
The dogs are fine. The child is safe and with his family and doing well in school
Bev was there the first time she met Jacques. And also why was my first comment removed? Is everyone scared to hear another side of the story? For one he had some job offers but refused to work for a black person. She never use to put him down in public, not that I am aware of and we saw them often, as she was always afraid how he would react once people are gone! Not even to mention that Len would invite Jacques to smoke dagga with him when we were at their house. People should be careful to portray a story if you don't have the full story.
We are learning as we go. Appreciate your comment.
Bev is making up her own story as she goes. Dont even know why you interviewed her @@PROFILERAFRICA
We would like to present all perspectives on a story but that is not always going to be possible. That said. We have discussed our position on speech in more detail in the wake of this episode and will ensure that we act responsibly to the best of our ability, and that we ensure that this forum is available to the community to offer alternative perspectives. We cannot promise that some parties may not find offence with certain things along the way, but we will endeavour to ensure we maintain a respect for the right to freedom of expression that is guaranteed under Section 16 of our awesome SA Constitution.
And you should not lie. They both weren’t angels. But Mariska was the devil Jacques was reacting to the devil.
@@JDG-qi6he the devil? Wow. You call a woman who's been conditioned and abused by a man for years, the devil? What entitles you to have that opinion? Come and show yourself, stop hiding behind your youtube name, tell me who you are, because as a stranger, you have ZERO credibility right now.
This cannel keeps removing my comments, why? Don't you want the truth? They are also not showing the footage where he grossly kicks and strangles and pins her down to the floor. You are asking the wrong people. Bev and len are liars. Jacques drank everyday. He was a racist, refused to work, he was sexist and he was lazy. I saw him grope my mom, drink 12 beers before dark and pass out on christmas day, throw his baby around when he was angry. I also find it very suspicious how his previous wife died. I grew up with this man. I know the truth. Mariska wanted to do the right thing and thought he would change and wanted a father in their sons life. But he became worse by the day and unfortunately things ended in tragedy. A lot of women are going through this, lets try and reach out, hear them out and help them out. Let us tey educate and not judge.
I can't believe jacques mother would sit here and blatantly lie. She knew what her son did to his wife and child and still lied in court and defended an abusive, racist, sexist alcoholic
We are learning as we go. Appreciate your comments.
Mariska was no Angel and was the worse person, totally unhinged
@@JDG-qi6he name an example?
10 years no kind of justice for taking a liferip
I must say, living with a man who worked on and off for 13 years, but still feeling entitled, accusing me of real shit, especially when he drinks brandy, I know exactly how she felt. Mine was mental abuse . I am not saying I was innocent but when you are broken down mentally, you retaliate.
Leave
Its so easy to say. Easy to speak from a point of privilege @@sanetterobertson6085
For so long he pushed her so far. I grew up seeing a lot of problematic things as a child. You can ask me, kids see things and kids don't lie
10 years for murder with an illegal weapon plus lying about the shooting is ridiculous . She should be in jail for at least 25 years.
Sorry but living with mentally ill people who are not in treatment and monitored closely is a terrible road to travel for their spouses and before you judge me.. I am bipolar I am sixty one years old and have been in therapy my whole adult life and my wonderful husband and I have been married 40 years.., I have seen so many people unravel and lose their marriages and I believe her behaviour broke him…
Hi behaviour broke her. He was lazy, and abuser, a sexist and a racist
Awesome presentation of this terrible crime
Idiot !! Sorry.....gatkruiper is best !!
Nope. A lot of lies. Not factual
New subscriber!
If it was such a safe community why did they have weapons in the house and so many surveillance equipment?
It wasn't a safe community, there were a lot of break ins and a lot of farm murders at that time
The friend probably got paid for her video
Why didn't HE leave the house with his son?
Mutually toxic relationship.
Violence against men is under reported. The public story of violence is that men are the abusers and females are victims. MEN TOO - ua-cam.com/video/pI5UdAiQNG4/v-deo.htmlsi=js-EC4VQdQ9gpPyT
Yeah let's blame the victim.
By the sounds of things she was often the instigator.
She is where she belongs.
He never even knew what hit him.
He abused his son
Some family dynamics are just not that simple!
Hope she is in jail. She started the fight pushing him, she kept on fighting with him and then she shot him. Shes not a victim
Did she push him first?
No, he started the fight. He slapped her while drunk. Hit their son all over his body. That's where it started. He drank every day at the end
For years, I saw him being lazy, a racist, a sexist, an abuser and an alcoholic. She was conditioned for so long by him
@@nicolamcleod1281Mariska is one that always started the fight.
Whether at home , with friends or work
@JDG-qi6he she had no issues at work, kept her job for many, many years, jacques hardly ever had a job.
Bev is the biggest liar and attention seeker. Stay out of it. You have nothing true to say
Friends and romantic partners are two very different things.
O hope the pets are okay
I only care about the pets.....the rest can fend for themselves
My heart bled for that little doggie!! 😢😢😢
The woman u interviewed is a lyer
Everything bev is saying is such a lie
This page keeps removing my comments when I post real facts about this case. They are lying and not showing both sides of the story.
I feel sorry for their little dog.
I hope she can get treatment for her mental health while in prison.
They don't offer that. It's ridiculous
She asked him to leave , she shouldve called the police ,than if he didnt wanres to , usely the next day both wouldve calmed down , he wouldve been still alive
She did call. They didn't pitch up
Wait so the friend got pissed off when she pulled away and then only divulged the info that she was withholding from the police - Did I hear correctly?
My friends daughter is like this
Sad
She was the aggressor. It was not right of him to lift his hands towards her but she pushed him to react that way. She could have taken her child and left, her parents lived close by. Instead of killing him, she could have left. It was not in self-defense as his back was turned.
Who are you? You obviously don't know anything
Also, are you saying his abuse is validated? That's some next level toxic stuff. Wow, for your part I hope you don't go through this. Is that what it will take for you to have compassion on something you clearly don't know about? But I wouldn't wish this on my enemy
Mariska is a bully.shes was violent.
Ai ai
Jacgues was no angel and I feel this interview is one sided
So who got the little boy?
He is safe and with his family
Sure drugs
She aint no victim she istagated everything ,mux drugs and achol with already netal oroblems what would ine expect ,dangerous combination ,he should had left with there son ,hope his family gif the grandson,plus she breaded him in front of others
He abused his son. She kept him safe and fought back. He always instigated it, drank a lot every single day. Also, you need to really work on your grammar. And check your facts
@@nicolamcleod1281he did not
@@JDG-qi6he how do you know?
@@JDG-qi6he show yourself coward
Generally, family will support their own
