Decided to keep this week's video to Monday! We're in South Africa to review the horrific case of Rosemary Ndlovu. What do you think of her actions? Also thank you so much for all the kind words left on last week's Q&A - You're all incredible! See you again next Monday! ☕
"I felt sorry for her when I saw her in court, then I remembered my kids and I were meant to be dead." - That right there is the contrast between good and evil, in one family.
Extreme childhood poverty does horrendous things to the human psyche. It certainly isn’t an excuse, but it is DEFINITELY part of the reason. Along with addiction of any kind, severely broken people who so often go on to hurt others. 🤣🤣I watch too much true crime. 🥴
I am a true crime fan, but I've found that most true crime focuses on the United States. I appreciate that your channel talks about cases worldwide. Thank you for the excellent work!
Exactly 🤦🏾♂️ ... It's like the show "Banged Up Abroad" They always talk about how crap other countries and their prisons are BUT never do a banged up Abroad USA. As if American prisons and cities are heaven on earth 🙄
@@sayless7133 Dude no one says they’re heaven on earth, but they at least have certain standards they have to keep based on law of a first world country- those 3rd world countries have prisons that don’t even compete with ours, I mean it really is hell on earth with no government oversight so there’s literally no rules the prison has to follow, no human rights, no rights to lawyers… nothing! If you’ve never lived in a third world country you wouldn’t understand the differences.
ITA I love hearing cases from around the world because they’re all new to me, where’s the most true crime channels keep repeating the same crimes over and over again. Plus it’s nice to focus on other countries stories from time to time other than just the US and England.
The fact that a hitman had a stronger sense of morality says a lot. I can't even imagine just what was going through the guys head when listening to Rosemary go into detail about wanting her sisters kids killed and she probably gave a description of them including their ages. The fact he willingly implicated himself so they could put a stop to Rosemary's plan says a lot.
Hitman kill people for profit, but I imagine a lot of them see themselves as vigilantes like Batman or the Punisher. I'm not condoning what they do, but they probably find the negative qualities in their victims and use it as justification for their actions. People have a habit of trying to paint themselves as the "hero." Not all hitman are like this, I'm sure some of them are cold and callous like Rosemary. It could have been just as simple as he saw the opportunity to fry a bigger fish, seeing as Rosemary was a high ranking LE officer and took the risk of exposing her for personal gain.
And she played victim and sick in court 😡 picturing herself as a innocent woman . The last time she was in court she had scars on her . I don't think she is the boss anymore 🇿🇦
@@faithsdollsville2662 That's true. Nowhere did they say he had ever killed anyone. She had arrested him for possessing a gun - that's all. She tried to recruit him as a hitman. The woman is beyond evil!
This by a long shot isn't funny at all, but can you imagine the hitman tryna tell her about the many bodies he has & when she says " I need you to off my sister & her 5 kids" & he's like "WTF"? Bi+€h, hell nall are you crazy?😳😳
She pretty much just saw her family as lotto scratch cards just waiting to be redeemed. That moment when the criminal is a better person than a police officer.
It is truly shocking to think about it. A man, who killed people for a living and who was completely unrelated to the victims was more shocked by the thought of killing them than their own sister and aunt... That woman most likely doesn't see anybody else as a human being or as an equal. To her they are just tools, means to get money in order to gamble everything again. Yet she was good at pretending she cared for them and loved them...
My opinion is she might be a narcissistic psychopath/sociopath... someone without empathy. The only explanation for how someone could commit such acts against family. Even some serial killers have personal morals against hurting people such as children, or their own family.
A man's worst enemy resides in his own home. My maternal grandmother was afflicted with alzheimers disease for the last 10 years of her life. Two of her daughters, my aunts, stole everything she had from beneath her ailing nose. It's unthinkable but it does happen. There was a trial that did not put the record straight. My two aunts took everything.
As a police officer she knew that the death of poor people would be ignored, maybe that’s why she was so bold. Which brings me to one of the reasons that I appreciate this channel, besides the exquisite level of work, the regard for human life is high and everyone is so dignified.
Your very right poor people disappear all the time and you don't see their stories trend or justice. While a well off person goes missing and they trend all over social media and traditional media. It's very sad😔
Interesting, kinda like how American police treat us Israelites aka black people, since they know many of my people are poor and can't afford attorneys!
So sad to see her sister's pain from finding out what this evil woman wanted to do to her. How can you decide to set your sister and 5 innocent children alight ??? Even the paid hitman couldn't understand it and preferred to incriminate himself to get this woman to justice
@@smartphonereviewa Bullshit. There most certainly are ruthless hitmen who wouldn't bat an eye and would kill a woman and her 5 children. Stop trying to romanticize that "profession" by giving them some false sense of morality.
Ben Beckman wow ur ignorant af ... some hit men will kill anyone whoever or whatever .. it’s literally what they do hence the name hit man .. they get paid to do a job which is killing ppl
This case shocked us to the core in South Africa. She is an evil, cold blooded monster and it was such a relief when she was given such a long sentence. With your images of the casino and shacks you have successfully juxtaposed the most unequal society in the world without saying a word about it being such. Sadly, in South Africa, it is normally only high profile cases that receive priority investigation. Thank you for raising awareness about the murders of these impoverished victims. Maybe next time you cover a South African case you can include the shocking murder statistics vs successful investigation and prosecution of those cases. You will be horrified at how few are ever solved. Great job, Adrian.
Those facts I'm sure are just jaw dropping. Trust me my friend, I'd believe you bcuz I try to keep up with countries with poverty, famine, disease, warzones, ect. Just absolutely horrible! It's truly heartbreaking & I pray for them every night! God bless 👑🙏🏼🕊💘💘
This story was crazy! And that woman is Cray-Cray!! Glad the courts found her GUILTY, BUT, I missed what her sentencing was. Hope she's in prison for the rest of her days on earth! She took ALL them peoples lives without blinking an eye - not one drop of remorse, regret nor shame ! And gladly was spending their policy monies ON HERSELF -WOW ! The lady at the end whose life was saved by the hitman, Well them two should split any monies from those policies that may be remaining! Tho a portion I'm sure would also likely go to the court system there n etc. But it would be a blessing to them both, and a definite positive outcome to such a tragic story. 😥
It's mind-blowing how she got away with the abuse of power as an authority figure and I'm sad for her family who are left to pick up the pieces, and especially sad for her daughter who will eventually learn the truth about her mother and grow up without a father who loved her very much. What an absolute tragedy.
As a South African citizen I believe the fact she was a woman was lead to get away with it for so long there is still this belief that a woman wouldn't commit such an evil crime especially for financial gain we expect these sort of crimes to be committed by men.
wtf you crying? The sister only lost her evil sister - nothing else. She saying she has nothing that her sister could possibly want from her. She is highlighting she is poor and her sister had everything.
Sadly, being a police officer and the victims being her own family excluded her as a suspect, as it is unthinkable that a law enforcer would kill her own family for money. This woman is the most despicable evil human being there is! Watching her making poses for the cameras and feeling no regret at all it’s beyond incomprehensible… She’s not sick, she’s pure evil
Rosemary came over for dinner, and immediately afterward she dies from poisoning? Could it get any more obvious as to who the killer was? I am shocked someone could do all of this to her own family. Greed is one of the deadliest sins
Look at the living conditions for a lot of these people, I'm sure crime is also terrible there. I bet the way they handle situations like that and just the amount of police cases going on are much different from what you or I think. I don't live in the best area in my US states, however, even the worst area here more than likely has much better living conditions and police work overall than the areas these people are in.
No offence, but I've been to the States California to be precise, and the homelessness i have seen there was out of this world my God i have never seen something like that in my life, in south Africa we have a police force that don't have the funds but they do there job, you never hear of our police killing innocent people or police brutality, and our court symptom works in south Africa you don't get millions of innocent people in prison, you should be ashamed of yourself the hole world sees everyday how your corrupt American police and courts treat inocent black people, they murder them everyday brutalize them send them to prison for no reason, the evil RASICT double standerd your police and courts treat white and black poeple, it is common knowledge in the world that America has the worst most evil corrupt and disfunctional police and court system in the world.
The footage of her sister is so sad. Seeing her talk about how baffled she was that her sister would plot against her in such manner when she really has nothing and lives in a government house shows how innocent she truly is. It pisses me off that someone who doesn't know the motivation of greed is a target. We want souls like her to live a long life because we don't have enough of them on this planet!
@@mikedenison121 No private messages. Married to my best friend for 25 years. Too many guys have made me uncomfortable by trying to talk me into cheating on him.
@@Jesser1975 I’m sorry. not be that wish you think. am also married. I just want to friendly with you. This is my first time meeting you here. Would you mind accepting my request as a friend.?.
@@mikedenison121 It seems I've failed at explaining exactly how paranoid I actually am. Too clarify, they've all said they were merely wanting to be friendly and then they got a lot more friendly than I wanted. This is why I have the policy of not friending a person I haven't met in a real brick and mortar place. Unfortunately, you may actually be sincere but I truly can't take the chance you're like the others.
@@Jesser1975 I’m so sorry for your offensive past. Fine a place in your heart. Too forgive those. Who Trespass against you. I didn’t know all this you’re passing through can you give me a chance as a new person. Never you judge .today and be on the side of tomorrow. No one. Know’s. I’m surprised of what you’re saying. Jesser
Wow. This case is absolutely horrifying. Murdering your own family for monetary gain because of greed and a gambling addiction? Although I think it's painfully obvious it's beyond that - she's clearly a psychopath. And the blatant disrespect she showed the court (21:05) shows she didn't care about anything, even her own self-preservation. I hadn't heard of this case before and glad you're bringing light to it. Great work as always, Adrian.
@arron frederick At least psychopath sociopath whatever, they have an excuse but people like that woman, they're just evil period. So selfish, greedy and wicked heart
Being a financial advisor in Johannesburg South Africa I've come across cases like this where people kill their relatives to claim insurance money... its actually surprising how many cases there actually are!
I also covered this story on my True Crime channel about three weeks ago. As South Africans, we are still recovering from this case. I was hoping and looking forward to you covering it too. Have my mug of coffee and watching.
I really empathise with Rosemarys sister. She must have been so hurt to find out that her own sister wanted to kill her and her 5 children for insurance claims.
"I felt sorry for her when I saw her in court until I remembered my kids and I were supposed to be dead" I feel so bad for the surviving family. They've lost everyone, her included, and can't even grieve losing her too because she was the monster who did it..
This must be what parents of killers feel after learning that they’ve gone on a killing spree at a local school or ended their significant others’ lives. And I say this because it seems a lot of people don’t understand that; they don’t understand that it is never cut & dry or black & white. It’s something I could not imagine going through and something I have no clue how I would react to & in which way (if I had a son who I loved and cared immensely for who would inevitably become a school shooter or a daughter who would stab her s/o for his money or somethin). Life is never black & white.
The language is related to Dutch. Fontain however is pronounced as fontine like the I as the subject of a sentence. The African language is quite difficult to pronounce for jon natives that do not have all of the vowel sounds for instance. You did a good job!
The sister said, "I wondered why she wanted to kill me when I had nothing," But that's not true, she has her life. And Rosemary wanted to take it away from her. She wanted to take the only thing that belonged to her sister...
This is probably one of the most if not THE most extreme example(s), but it goes to show you how a gambling addiction can ruin your life and the lives of those around you in the worst way.
Thanks for covering so many international cases!! We don't often hear about anything outside of North America and it's nice to learn so much. You have such a way of describing the individuals, and really humanizing the victims as unique people with their own lives and stories without focusing too much on those who kill them. Love your videos!
I was just thinking this! While it's sad knowing crimes like this happen all over the world, we rarely hear about crimes outside of our areas (or countries).
I have been desperate for money in the past but never has anything like this crossed my mind. Knowing all the families affected by Rosemary's actions, I'm stunned. Hitman or not, that individual was a hero for bringing it to the polices attention and agreeing to help catch her admit to her next victims.
Money is probably the best but also the worst if you cant handle it, but still she probably have something more wrong to cross the barrier to actually kill someone or she was just a ticking bomb, when looking at this stories there is some fucked up people out there,🤔
South African here🙋 You really went in! Well researched and delivered, you even brought out details we were not aware of. Thank you for the job well done Adrian
Ma21 udom yazi ... patriarchy is what created the justice system and they underestimated women and gave them short sentences because they are "meek". If you're a follower of true crime especially the show "Deadly women", you'd know that some of the worst female serial killers were acquitted or their death sentences commuted to life sentences because the male judge or jurors couldn't accept that women are just as capable. Feminism fights for equality meaning that men and women must be treated equally
As a South African, thank you for covering this case. So many cases here need more attention. There is a docuseries out now about this case called Rosemary’s Hitlist if anyone is interested.
@@zieraq many gambling many have life insurance. And Never kill. You can see that she is sick in the head. If you can not see that. You May get killed very soon .
As a South African, I gotta say you keep on blowing my mind away with your pronunciation of South African names , and even you learning the little things about SA... Much love Adrian may you keep reaching new heights
Welcome to South Africa! As a South African I just want to thank you for covering this case. Here, if it's not high profile, they don't bother to investigate. Corruption is extremely prevalent within any and all government structures - the police force one of the worst tbh. Now, there are some good officers, saying they're all bad would be ignorant; but it's extremely rare to actually see them solve cases.
Its unfortunate. It is because of the poverty and uncaring of these people that crimes are easy to do and get away with. Why, because no one cares about these people
I know right..What kind of weak, lazy investigating is this. Patterns like that in the 21st century should be noticed so much faster with what is available.
Seeing her sister cry like that and saying she still felt sorry for her in court, broke my heart. It shows just how pure and innocent she is compared to her sister. I'm really happy she and her kids are well.
I'm from South Africa...In the city of Johannesburg and this crime shook the whole country.Everybody followed it from start to finish.Thank you for getting all the facts straight...ON POINT AND KEEP IT UP
This quickly became my favorite true crime channel after I found it. I’m so thankful I got it recommended to me by UA-cam while it was so new. I love that you cover some more obscure international and recent cases and not the same ones as every other channel. Even if you run out of those I’d still watch your videos though because you’re such a great storyteller. I love how much research and work you put into everything and how respectful you are of the victims.
Btw please cover all the weird tourist deaths in Punta Cana. I first heard about tourists from my country (Sweden) dying there under mysterious circumstances, but when googling it turns out a bunch of American tourists are dying there as well.. and probably from other countries too.
@@binkao2938 That doesn't surprise me. The Dominican Republic, along with it's neighbor, Haiti, are highly populated with poverty and crime. I had a friend who went on a holiday there (Punta Cana) about 20 years ago and said she was never going back. Because even though she never left the resort (actually noone was allowed to leave the resort, which was highly fortified), she could sense the danger and the abject poverty even amongst the staff. She was really uncomfortable there and never felt safe. She felt upset for months afterwards because she had a glimpse of what life was like for the locals and it was so disturbing. To know that many tourists have died there is no surprise but noone talks about it. Maybe Adrian will?
Adrian! You continue to humble me with your humility and compassionate manner you always approach every case. I am a psychiatric nurse and South African and these type of cases I follow religiously. You were born to do this❤
4 years ago, my mother and i were victims of something similar and this case triggered me. it's chilling and vile how people are willing to kill their own family members for money.
Omg I don't know U or Mom but I thank God that u ladies came out WITH ur lives God is so good his Angel's was doing their job that day when u & ur precious mother was spared ur Lives God God BLESS u and ur Mom and God and his Angel's b WITH ya'll every step and breath u take 😇😇😇😇💘💝💖💗💓💞💕💟❣❤👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👭👭👭u and Mom holding hands
I love how you cover different stories from different countries.We appreciate your unique content. As a South African this case left everyone in awe. Still shocked at the lengths people will go to get money🥺. What a messed up world.
Im South African and i followed this case locally. I just wanna say you did a great job with how you presented this case, your accuracy of events is spot on and you pronounced our local names all correctly.
I love to see us moving away from the Americas, as Canadian I'm pretty happy with the amount of coverage we get, but I absolutely love to see African, Ireland, Switzerland, I love hearing about cases I've never heard of. Amazing job!
I feel so bad for the sister. Imagine finding all that out and reflecting on the fact that your life insurance literally values you more dead than alive.. that’s soul crushing
imagine marrying someone, staying with them through their gambling and temper, only to have them stab you to death. Man I feel sad for her husband. He was literally just trying to be a good spouse and dad. I’m sure he thought a lot about leaving but he wanted to do the right thing so he gave it everything he could. Hope he’s at peace now… 😔
@@shibaartista4274 she wasnt married to the baby daddy , they just lived together, but she did marry the last lover , i think to make the "claims process" easier when she decided to strikes again.
@@darthghengis Next time gather enough money to travel in sophisticated area, every place has a good and skeptical place. It's like coming to the US and complaining of theft in Florida or Chicago
Me, the moment you said she made her family work out life insurances: please no. Please don't tell me she killed her own family for money 😭 The insurance company(ies?) should have really questioned things sooner. On the other hand, I deeply appreciate the police believing the hitman and doing something
@@blobster91 she’s being investigated for it. Charges are pending. Apparently she didn’t give a damn at the funeral. Not much in the article about her death.
Wow. Another layer in a disturbing case. This monster is a straight up sociopath. Just discarding family members left and right and feeling no remorse. Even giving birth to a child couldn't draw any humanity out of her. Disgusting.
One of the many many things I love about Adrian, is the clear when and where the event is. Many many crime tellers jump around so much, I completely lose track of time (literally). But the time narration in every video of Coffeehouse Crime is so clean and very well presented. Even when Adrian needs to go back to backtrack an event, he tells us with a smooth and simple approach.
I didn't realise how horrifically recently this happened until the end. People should not be able to get away with things like this for so long in a modern era!
Recently came across this channel & I am so impressed by the research that goes into these stories, not only does it focuses on the actual cases but it also gives background stories on everything. Well done to the team.
But some beck around a not true hare rosemary born and grown up in mpumalanga bushbuckrigde and move to Johannesburg for better life I'm south african i grown up in bushbuckrigde where rosemary come from
Nope she's just a straight up psychopath. Has very little to do with addiction and more to do with her psychopathology. I am a struggling addict but I would never even consider harming anyone, let alone my own family, to get my way. It takes a special kind of pos to be able to do something like that.
Betting/Gambling is the new drug..... and all governments endorse it because it is easy to tax. You ain't seen nothing yet. In this country...every half-time in televised football matches is FULL...& I mean FULL, of propaganda for betting sites. It is going to destroy societies. More than drugs. More than alcohol. I repeat: You ain't seen nothing yet.
Most of these creators tend to be good writers that are great at reading about cases and summing them up in their own words. It's not a hard skill to learn or do quickly, but it is a hard skill to master to keep the quality high. Kudos to him.
RIP to ALL the family members that lost their lives at the hands of Rosemary Ndlovu. A huge shout out to the hit man, if not for him I'm sure this would've carried on for years to come. It's so sad, in her eyes everyone is a cash register, that would top up her purse every few months. My heart broke listening to her sister. Thank u so much for your excellent upload. May we all be protected against the evilness in this world.
I love that you are bringing stories from South Africa to your channel. I am South African. Your compassionate way of story telling is so refreshing. Many other channels convey these really sad stories with glee and sensationalism. Your caring and genuine manner resonates with me and I am sure many of your subscribers.
Hearing how she managed to get away with this so many times, it makes me wonder if more people were choosing to ignore the possibility that she was a serial killer
I am from South Africa and watched this case unfold on the news. It was truly insane to see. You often hear about similar crimes of greed but to see it first hand is something else.
That is absolutely insane to me. I found a mouse in my apartment a few months back and I couldn't even kill it. I trapped it and set it free in the wild. The concept of harming someone, let alone any of my family members, is just so foreign to me I can't even begin to understand how people can actually do through with it.
Same!! I bought a humane trap and drove it a mile away and let it go in some woods. I take spiders outside instead of killing them, like most people do. I just don't see the reason to kill something unnecessarily. How people kill innocent humans is beyond me. Wish they would just kill other murderers and rapists!
Imagine how many unnamed serial killers live in a region where so many murders go completely uninvestigated. I bet shes not even close to the only one. It doesnt even sound like she had to put much effort if they didnt look at the life insurance for so long ha..
I remember seeing this story trending on Twitter and getting coverage so much but never got to the full details of it. Can't believe she was greedy enough to kill her family members. She should rot in jail. Thanks Coffeehouse Crime for the video
Smh, As a South African I often feel like we live in the wild west! You have shared some details of this case that I was not even aware of and this story has gripped your beautiful country for sometime. LOVE YOUR WORK MAN!
How horrific! A very evil monster. I'm so glad that her "hitman" had a conscious and reported her. I feel very sad for her family. But I do not have a tiny bit of sadness for her. She got exactly what she deserved. Addiction of any kind can really mess a person up but killing for money is quite unthinkable to me.
Am not very surprised by this My own sisters nearly had me killed by my own brother who was a Killer all because ' didn't like me" I was saved at the last minute by God's Grace
I think that what ultimately seals her record as an utterly evil person is that during her trial, she responded not with shame or at least silence, but with aggressively attacking and insulting journalists and witnesses. That is the heart of someone who can do no wrong in their own eyes. No matter how heinous or barbaric their action, they can justify it simply by the fact that it would benefit them in the end.
Have to give you massive kudos for pronouncing all the places and names so accurately. You did your research well 😊 Love your channel and thanks for covering a local crime, even though it's so awful.
I love that you cover intenational cases that I've never heard of. I get bored of hearing the same cases over and over again, and I appreciate the work you put into these.
I honestly started crying when you showed the sister and her tears of sadness at the thought of her own sister doing something so horrible to her and her family after all of the hardships she’s already had to endure in her life.
She got away with snuffing out 6 lives closest to her...for a paltry payout of just over £10,000 per victim. And she didn't stop there. She was about to murder another 6 including a baby. Just unbelievable. This was beyond wicked.
It's kind of crazy how none of the other deaths were investigated, and how none of her other family members put 2 and 2 together. I mean, if your relatives are getting murdered, and one person is making money from it then alarm bells should be going off. But maybe the others didn't know about the insurance policies. But damn, fair play to that hitman..
If you had paid attn to the details, a lot of the family did not have access to phones and resources like going online. The sister she planned to have killed lived hours away. Besides, they were being killed in different ways, some were listed as homicides while others fell under medical/health reasons. Most of her family lived poorly. And it's often hard for anyone, without having good reason to, to even think a family member would ever take a life of a loved one.
These are village ppl who probably dnt know abt insurance policy prior to her putting them on it.. & violence is probably normal there, they see no reason why they'd be specifically targeted.
I’m speechless. I have no words to describe how creeped out I am over this case. Every time I think I’m aware of how bad people can get; I hear a story like this one that boggles my mind. I hope that she never gets out.
As a South African I'm glad you covered this. I haven't been following this case/the news so I seen her case in headlines but had no idea the entire story..m
She monetized her relatives in a chilling and remorseless manner. Her behaviour in court is perhaps an attempt to look innocent but she just looks sinister.
Well, welcome to South Africa. The country where if you are not corrupt as hell you have no way of making it. I wish i could say that she is the only cop who did this.. unfortunately about 90% of our police force has a criminal record and not even have a licence or knowledge on how to operate a weapon... but Adrian thank you for covering our stories i am absolutely in love with your channel!!
@@jonmoxleylunaticlikeme7653 I'm from West Africa but live in the UK. While no part of the world is without corruption, there are levels. Corruption in UK and western institutions is nothing compared to what goes on in the rest of the world, Including Sub-saharan Africa. It's not even close. The Sarah Everard case is the exception, not the rule.
@@beno1129 Ja, people in North America/Europe, etc. have absolutely no idea what real corruption is like. They’ll have the lone (albeit horrible) case and think they have an idea but they don’t.
I CANNOT imagine what it would feel like to have my sister plotting to kill me and my children! I would be crushed beyond words. My sister's 18 yrs younger than me, and I helped raise her so it would be almost like my daughter trying to kill me. There's no words. Killing me would be enough, but the kids, too?!? That's what would be more hurtful than anything! I'm SO GLAD the hitman had a heart! He saved the lives of 6 people who didn't deserve anything that was headed their way. I know the surviving family members had to be so hurt by this. But thank God she's going to be locked up for a long time! Great coverage!
Oh ! July 2024.. I've just realized how much the series has changed! Even Adrian narration has changed not just the background intro and outro.. Congratulations 👏🏻 coming so far !
Yeah, but for her she is soooo poor the next thought is how to buy bread. I do not know which is the worst. B/c as the guy said these people do not have the luxury of mourning. Death is so common in Africa that it sometimes loses value. Hence why this madwoman got away with it.
@@africanhistory The way her sister felt, crying thinking of burning to death with her children, buying bread is the least of her problems. People have the will to survive, all living things do. This monster has no feelings. Sounded bored ordering these killings. More emotions heard on a MacDonald's take out order.
I live and hour away from her village and this story shocked us all! What blew my mind was her behavior in court. She's clearly a psychopath! She was convinced that she'll get away with this. Edit: You did a great cover on her story. First time hearing a clear time line of what really happened.
Decided to keep this week's video to Monday! We're in South Africa to review the horrific case of Rosemary Ndlovu. What do you think of her actions?
Also thank you so much for all the kind words left on last week's Q&A - You're all incredible!
See you again next Monday! ☕

Need a 40 minute - 1 hour documentary on big cases.
Thanks Adrian.you are so awesome.
Awesome Thanks Adrian 😊🙏👍.. Great story, sad 😥😢.. I will never understand why folks think money is so much more important than a life 😢...
Great work, thanks 👍
"thanks to the conscience of Rosemary's Hitman"
Surely the irony is not lost.

Exactly 🤦🏾♂️ ... It's like the show "Banged Up Abroad" They always talk about how crap other countries and their prisons are BUT never do a banged up Abroad USA. As if American prisons and cities are heaven on earth 🙄
@@sayless7133 Dude no one says they’re heaven on earth, but they at least have certain standards they have to keep based on law of a first world country- those 3rd world countries have prisons that don’t even compete with ours, I mean it really is hell on earth with no government oversight so there’s literally no rules the prison has to follow, no human rights, no rights to lawyers… nothing! If you’ve never lived in a third world country you wouldn’t understand the differences.
ITA I love hearing cases from around the world because they’re all new to me, where’s the most true crime channels keep repeating the same crimes over and over again. Plus it’s nice to focus on other countries stories from time to time other than just the US and England.
The fact that a hitman had a stronger sense of morality says a lot. I can't even imagine just what was going through the guys head when listening to Rosemary go into detail about wanting her sisters kids killed and she probably gave a description of them including their ages. The fact he willingly implicated himself so they could put a stop to Rosemary's plan says a lot.
Hitman kill people for profit, but I imagine a lot of them see themselves as vigilantes like Batman or the Punisher. I'm not condoning what they do, but they probably find the negative qualities in their victims and use it as justification for their actions. People have a habit of trying to paint themselves as the "hero." Not all hitman are like this, I'm sure some of them are cold and callous like Rosemary. It could have been just as simple as he saw the opportunity to fry a bigger fish, seeing as Rosemary was a high ranking LE officer and took the risk of exposing her for personal gain.
And she played victim and sick in court 😡 picturing herself as a innocent woman .
The last time she was in court
she had scars on her .
I don't think she is the boss
anymore 🇿🇦
But the man was not really a hitman. She hired him to be a hitman. He was previously arrested by her years back for something else.
Hitman: I'm Out
God: You're forgiven, my son!
@@faithsdollsville2662 That's true. Nowhere did they say he had ever killed anyone. She had arrested him for possessing a gun - that's all. She tried to recruit him as a hitman. The woman is beyond evil!
Do you know how cold hearted you have to be when even a hitman is like “This is too much for me”?
Even the hitman was like...nah this is too much...I wont do this
Understandable, offing 5 kids just for the heck of it surely gets you in a special part of he*ll. If it were for money there would be atleast a reason
This by a long shot isn't funny at all, but can you imagine the hitman tryna tell her about the many bodies he has & when she says " I need you to off my sister & her 5 kids" & he's like "WTF"? Bi+€h, hell nall are you crazy?😳😳

She pretty much just saw her family as lotto scratch cards just waiting to be redeemed. That moment when the criminal is a better person than a police officer.
It is truly shocking to think about it.
A man, who killed people for a living and who was completely unrelated to the victims was more shocked by the thought of killing them than their own sister and aunt...
That woman most likely doesn't see anybody else as a human being or as an equal. To her they are just tools, means to get money in order to gamble everything again. Yet she was good at pretending she cared for them and loved them...
That's pretty much any moment.
Reminds me of Karl Karlsson in the US
That moment is everyday and every second
@@Libellulaire she looks and behaves like a sociopath...her poor daughter!
what makes this even more sickening is that it's her FAMILY
My opinion is she might be a narcissistic psychopath/sociopath... someone without empathy. The only explanation for how someone could commit such acts against family. Even some serial killers have personal morals against hurting people such as children, or their own family.
Yes exactly
A man's worst enemy resides in his own home. My maternal grandmother was afflicted with alzheimers disease for the last 10 years of her life. Two of her daughters, my aunts, stole everything she had from beneath her ailing nose. It's unthinkable but it does happen. There was a trial that did not put the record straight. My two aunts took everything.

And they were poor and she refused to help them in any kind of way. She is certainly evil.
As a police officer she knew that the death of poor people would be ignored, maybe that’s why she was so bold. Which brings me to one of the reasons that I appreciate this channel, besides the exquisite level of work, the regard for human life is high and everyone is so dignified.

This case shocked us to the core in South Africa. She is an evil, cold blooded monster and it was such a relief when she was given such a long sentence. With your images of the casino and shacks you have successfully juxtaposed the most unequal society in the world without saying a word about it being such. Sadly, in South Africa, it is normally only high profile cases that receive priority investigation. Thank you for raising awareness about the murders of these impoverished victims. Maybe next time you cover a South African case you can include the shocking murder statistics vs successful investigation and prosecution of those cases. You will be horrified at how few are ever solved. Great job, Adrian.
Those facts I'm sure are just jaw dropping. Trust me my friend, I'd believe you bcuz I try to keep up with countries with poverty, famine, disease, warzones, ect. Just absolutely horrible! It's truly heartbreaking & I pray for them every night! God bless 👑🙏🏼🕊💘💘

It's mind-blowing how she got away with the abuse of power as an authority figure and I'm sad for her family who are left to pick up the pieces, and especially sad for her daughter who will eventually learn the truth about her mother and grow up without a father who loved her very much. What an absolute tragedy.
As a South African citizen I believe the fact she was a woman was lead to get away with it for so long there is still this belief that a woman wouldn't commit such an evil crime especially for financial gain we expect these sort of crimes to be committed by men.
@@cebolenkosingcobo5122 hgg
@Flinty94 🙄🙄
I cried for her sister. She has been left heart broken and trying to pick up the pieces. Bless her heart with peace and strength.
Her testimony brought me to tears. How evil can one be?
So what about her boyfriend all other innocent individuals that she had already killed?
Hi Leander can I talk to you for a moment.?
wtf you crying? The sister only lost her evil sister - nothing else. She saying she has nothing that her sister could possibly want from her. She is highlighting she is poor and her sister had everything.
Rosemary is a monster. I can't believe she wanted to kill her own sister and her sisters INNOCENT children. Unbelievable really.
She did kill one of her sisters soo yeah
Sadly, being a police officer and the victims being her own family excluded her as a suspect, as it is unthinkable that a law enforcer would kill her own family for money. This woman is the most despicable evil human being there is! Watching her making poses for the cameras and feeling no regret at all it’s beyond incomprehensible…
She’s not sick, she’s pure evil
Agreed
Rosemary came over for dinner, and immediately afterward she dies from poisoning? Could it get any more obvious as to who the killer was? I am shocked someone could do all of this to her own family. Greed is one of the deadliest sins
They hated her
Pure greed
Look at the living conditions for a lot of these people, I'm sure crime is also terrible there. I bet the way they handle situations like that and just the amount of police cases going on are much different from what you or I think. I don't live in the best area in my US states, however, even the worst area here more than likely has much better living conditions and police work overall than the areas these people are in.
Investigating authority is even more pathetic.
No offence, but I've been to the States California to be precise, and the homelessness i have seen there was out of this world my God i have never seen something like that in my life, in south Africa we have a police force that don't have the funds but they do there job, you never hear of our police killing innocent people or police brutality, and our court symptom works in south Africa you don't get millions of innocent people in prison, you should be ashamed of yourself the hole world sees everyday how your corrupt American police and courts treat inocent black people, they murder them everyday brutalize them send them to prison for no reason, the evil RASICT double standerd your police and courts treat white and black poeple, it is common knowledge in the world that America has the worst most evil corrupt and disfunctional police and court system in the world.
The footage of her sister is so sad. Seeing her talk about how baffled she was that her sister would plot against her in such manner when she really has nothing and lives in a government house shows how innocent she truly is. It pisses me off that someone who doesn't know the motivation of greed is a target. We want souls like her to live a long life because we don't have enough of them on this planet!

Wow. This case is absolutely horrifying. Murdering your own family for monetary gain because of greed and a gambling addiction? Although I think it's painfully obvious it's beyond that - she's clearly a psychopath. And the blatant disrespect she showed the court (21:05) shows she didn't care about anything, even her own self-preservation. I hadn't heard of this case before and glad you're bringing light to it. Great work as always, Adrian.
I couldn’t believe she had the audacity to do that either. She seems very much like a sociopath.
She was too used to killing that the reality of being charged doesn’t phase her. Doubt she has a soul anymore to feel feelings

My God ikr just horrible 😩😞😞😞
@Chris 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Well said
@Chris women are always right
This case was insane.. The fact that a HITMAN rejected her offer.. And the way she had it all planned out so vividly.. She's absolutely vile
You know you're fucked up when the hitman decides to do something about it.
"I felt sorry for her when I saw her in court until I remembered my kids and I were supposed to be dead" I feel so bad for the surviving family. They've lost everyone, her included, and can't even grieve losing her too because she was the monster who did it..
It must be both painful and confusing, great point.
This must be what parents of killers feel after learning that they’ve gone on a killing spree at a local school or ended their significant others’ lives. And I say this because it seems a lot of people don’t understand that; they don’t understand that it is never cut & dry or black & white. It’s something I could not imagine going through and something I have no clue how I would react to & in which way (if I had a son who I loved and cared immensely for who would inevitably become a school shooter or a daughter who would stab her s/o for his money or somethin).
Life is never black & white.
I'm so impressed with Adrian's pronunciation of South African words. This isn't the first time he floors me
What? Ndlovu & Gauteng made me cringe. 😶
It’s clear he is doing his utmost.
It makes me consider how much time UA-camrs put into pronunciations and rehearsal!
@@thisbelindaangel2841 You should aporeciate his effort and it didn't even sound that bad or off. Some people 🙄🤦♂️
The language is related to Dutch. Fontain however is pronounced as fontine like the I as the subject of a sentence. The African language is quite difficult to pronounce for jon natives that do not have all of the vowel sounds for instance. You did a good job!
The sister said, "I wondered why she wanted to kill me when I had nothing," But that's not true, she has her life. And Rosemary wanted to take it away from her. She wanted to take the only thing that belonged to her sister...
There is some psychological depth in that
Oh my gosh!!
yeah she didnt tell them why she needed their IDs and didnt tell them about the Policy
Hmmm 🤔
This is probably one of the most if not THE most extreme example(s), but it goes to show you how a gambling addiction can ruin your life and the lives of those around you in the worst way.
This is beyond gambling addiction. she is a psychopath.
This has nothing to do with gambling, that woman is a pure psychopath.
lol, no. A gambling addiction doesn't turn you into a serial killer. She is a psychopath.
Look up Lois Reiss of America who traveled across several states killing people for gambling money.
Thanks for covering so many international cases!! We don't often hear about anything outside of North America and it's nice to learn so much. You have such a way of describing the individuals, and really humanizing the victims as unique people with their own lives and stories without focusing too much on those who kill them.

I have been desperate for money in the past but never has anything like this crossed my mind. Knowing all the families affected by Rosemary's actions, I'm stunned. Hitman or not, that individual was a hero for bringing it to the polices attention and agreeing to help catch her admit to her next victims.
Killing people for money is certainly not normal at all for most humans.
Money is probably the best but also the worst if you cant handle it, but still she probably have something more wrong to cross the barrier to actually kill someone or she was just a ticking bomb, when looking at this stories there is some fucked up people out there,🤔
Eh...eh...eh...ya mah china he praats de taal bier mooi neh ?
the fact that you felt the need to clarify that makes you very suspicious
Money is like alcohol, it can be addictive and drive all sorts of immoral behavior but not everyone becomes an alcoholic.
What an embarrassing lack of investigation by the South African authorities. Utterly shameful. Are all crimes against the poor handled this way there?

@@binkao2938 That doesn't surprise me. The Dominican Republic, along with it's neighbor, Haiti, are highly populated with poverty and crime. I had a friend who went on a holiday there (Punta Cana) about 20 years ago and said she was never going back. Because even though she never left the resort (actually noone was allowed to leave the resort, which was highly fortified), she could sense the danger and the abject poverty even amongst the staff. She was really uncomfortable there and never felt safe. She felt upset for months afterwards because she had a glimpse of what life was like for the locals and it was so disturbing. To know that many tourists have died there is no surprise but noone talks about it. Maybe Adrian will?

Recently came across this channel & I am so impressed by the research that goes into these stories, not only does it focuses on the actual cases but it also gives background stories on everything. Well done to the team.
But some beck around a not true hare rosemary born and grown up in mpumalanga bushbuckrigde and move to Johannesburg for better life I'm south african i grown up in bushbuckrigde where rosemary come from
@@mashigoaustin1315 I don’t understand what the issue is? Most people move to jhb for a better job/life opportunities don’t we?
This case really shows how bad an addiction can get. Wow.
Nope she's just a straight up psychopath. Has very little to do with addiction and more to do with her psychopathology. I am a struggling addict but I would never even consider harming anyone, let alone my own family, to get my way. It takes a special kind of pos to be able to do something like that.
Betting/Gambling is the new drug..... and all governments endorse it because it is easy to tax. You ain't seen nothing yet.
In this country...every half-time in televised football matches is FULL...& I mean FULL, of propaganda for betting sites.
It is going to destroy societies. More than drugs. More than alcohol. I repeat: You ain't seen nothing yet.
Addiction + being completely fucking nuts
Not really, it shows how psychopathic and emotionally dead some people can be. Calling it an ‘addiction’ is a ridiculous understatement.
@@joeyblogsy she had a gambling addiction and used the insurance money
my brain can't comprehend how he can upload so much quality content so fast
Most of these creators tend to be good writers that are great at reading about cases and summing them up in their own words. It's not a hard skill to learn or do quickly, but it is a hard skill to master to keep the quality high. Kudos to him.
Yeah, and especially since this isn’t his only job
I’m more impressed with your pronunciations than anything else 🤣 they are spot on. Thank you for covering this case.
No they aren’t 🤥, he did his best tho
@@alexb5812 😂😂😂
Except the way he pronounced "GUATENG"
Gauteng was not hey.. am on the flour
are you ok in the head .... this forum is about that innocent have been murdered. your comment is really selfish and disturbing.
Those words from her sister hit me more than anything in this story. I wish her and her children prosperity and peace.
RIP to ALL the family members that lost their lives at the hands of Rosemary Ndlovu. A huge shout out to the hit man, if not for him I'm sure this would've carried on for years to come. It's so sad, in her eyes everyone is a cash register, that would top up her purse every few months.
My heart broke listening to her sister. Thank u so much for your excellent upload. May we all be protected against the evilness in this world.
I love that you are bringing stories from South Africa to your channel. I am South African. Your compassionate way of story telling is so refreshing. Many other channels convey these really sad stories with glee and sensationalism. Your caring and genuine manner resonates with me and I am sure many of your subscribers.
Appreciate you covering this case. This is still fresh to us South Africans and it was really shocking. 🇿🇦❤️
Hearing how she managed to get away with this so many times, it makes me wonder if more people were choosing to ignore the possibility that she was a serial killer
I am from South Africa and watched this case unfold on the news. It was truly insane to see. You often hear about similar crimes of greed but to see it first hand is something else.
Never missed a video in the last 6 months, respect from The Netherlands 🇳🇱
Je bent niet de enige 😉
Im here since the mad bulldozer case, never missed an episode since :) greetings from Thailand

That is absolutely insane to me. I found a mouse in my apartment a few months back and I couldn't even kill it. I trapped it and set it free in the wild. The concept of harming someone, let alone any of my family members, is just so foreign to me I can't even begin to understand how people can actually do through with it.
Bet it's back now with about 12 of its family lol
@@craigobrien31 nope it never came back
Same!! I bought a humane trap and drove it a mile away and let it go in some woods. I take spiders outside instead of killing them, like most people do. I just don't see the reason to kill something unnecessarily. How people kill innocent humans is beyond me. Wish they would just kill other murderers and rapists!
Imagine how many unnamed serial killers live in a region where so many murders go completely uninvestigated. I bet shes not even close to the only one. It doesnt even sound like she had to put much effort if they didnt look at the life insurance for so long ha..
I remember seeing this story trending on Twitter and getting coverage so much but never got to the full details of it. Can't believe she was greedy enough to kill her family members. She should rot in jail. Thanks Coffeehouse Crime for the video
Thank you for giving some light to this case…it doesn’t get much publicity, at least not where I am. I can’t wait to watch this!! 🤗🙏🏻
I've covered it too, three weeks ago😊
@@theirronbars Thanks! I’ll check it out 🤗
@@janessap1739 🙏🏾🙏🏾🤗🤗
Smh, As a South African I often feel like we live in the wild west! You have shared some details of this case that I was not even aware of and this story has gripped your beautiful country for sometime. LOVE YOUR WORK MAN!
Thank you for shedding light on this case! More power and light to you! 💪👊
How horrific! A very evil monster. I'm so glad that her "hitman" had a conscious and reported her. I feel very sad for her family. But I do not have a tiny bit of sadness for her. She got exactly what she deserved. Addiction of any kind can really mess a person up but killing for money is quite unthinkable to me.
*conscience
Yes, especially since she had a good job and had nothing to show for any of the blood money she pissed away!
Am not very surprised by this
My own sisters nearly had me killed by my own brother who was a Killer all because ' didn't like me" I was saved at the last minute by God's Grace
I think that what ultimately seals her record as an utterly evil person is that during her trial, she responded not with shame or at least silence, but with aggressively attacking and insulting journalists and witnesses. That is the heart of someone who can do no wrong in their own eyes. No matter how heinous or barbaric their action, they can justify it simply by the fact that it would benefit them in the end.
Have to give you massive kudos for pronouncing all the places and names so accurately. You did your research well 😊 Love your channel and thanks for covering a local crime, even though it's so awful.
I am so chuffed to have come across your channel, Adrian.
I love that you cover intenational cases that I've never heard of. I get bored of hearing the same cases over and over again, and I appreciate the work you put into these.
This case literally just wrapped up. Insanely great turnover, Adrian!
I honestly started crying when you showed the sister and her tears of sadness at the thought of her own sister doing something so horrible to her and her family after all of the hardships she’s already had to endure in her life.
She got away with snuffing out 6 lives closest to her...for a paltry payout of just over £10,000 per victim. And she didn't stop there. She was about to murder another 6 including a baby. Just unbelievable. This was beyond wicked.
It's kind of crazy how none of the other deaths were investigated, and how none of her other family members put 2 and 2 together.
I mean, if your relatives are getting murdered, and one person is making money from it then alarm bells should be going off. But maybe the others didn't know about the insurance policies.
But damn, fair play to that hitman..
I'm amazed the insurance company didn't investigate
Oh I'm sure some were becoming aware of it but no one took their worries or pleads seriously. The police are pretty much a joke
If you had paid attn to the details, a lot of the family did not have access to phones and resources like going online. The sister she planned to have killed lived hours away. Besides, they were being killed in different ways, some were listed as homicides while others fell under medical/health reasons. Most of her family lived poorly. And it's often hard for anyone, without having good reason to, to even think a family member would ever take a life of a loved one.
These are village ppl who probably dnt know abt insurance policy prior to her putting them on it.. & violence is probably normal there, they see no reason why they'd be specifically targeted.
This doesn't make sense to me unbelievable it took so long. For her to get arrested she hurt so many people😞
I’m speechless. I have no words to describe how creeped out I am over this case. Every time I think I’m aware of how bad people can get; I hear a story like this one that boggles my mind. I hope that she never gets out.
As a South African I'm glad you covered this. I haven't been following this case/the news so I seen her case in headlines but had no idea the entire story..m
I love how diverse you are in your episodes, big ups from your number 1 South African fan
She monetized her relatives in a chilling and remorseless manner. Her behaviour in court is perhaps an attempt to look innocent but she just looks sinister.
Well, welcome to South Africa. The country where if you are not corrupt as hell you have no way of making it. I wish i could say that she is the only cop who did this.. unfortunately about 90% of our police force has a criminal record and not even have a licence or knowledge on how to operate a weapon... but Adrian thank you for covering our stories i am absolutely in love with your channel!!
Happens every where these days. Shara everad got killed by a cop in England. UK. So your not alone the whole stinking world has corrupt cops
@@jonmoxleylunaticlikeme7653 I'm from West Africa but live in the UK. While no part of the world is without corruption, there are levels. Corruption in UK and western institutions is nothing compared to what goes on in the rest of the world, Including Sub-saharan Africa. It's not even close. The Sarah Everard case is the exception, not the rule.
@@beno1129 Ja, people in North America/Europe, etc. have absolutely no idea what real corruption is like. They’ll have the lone (albeit horrible) case and think they have an idea but they don’t.
At least our laws are just. In places like the US, corruption is just kind of written into the law.
90 percent??? What a joke 🙄 😒 😑 🤣
Funny guy fr
I CANNOT imagine what it would feel like to have my sister plotting to kill me and my children! I would be crushed beyond words. My sister's 18 yrs younger than me, and I helped raise her so it would be almost like my daughter trying to kill me. There's no words. Killing me would be enough, but the kids, too?!? That's what would be more hurtful than anything!
I'm SO GLAD the hitman had a heart! He saved the lives of 6 people who didn't deserve anything that was headed their way. I know the surviving family members had to be so hurt by this. But thank God she's going to be locked up for a long time! Great coverage!
Oh ! July 2024.. I've just realized how much the series has changed! Even Adrian narration has changed not just the background intro and outro.. Congratulations 👏🏻 coming so far !
Listening to her sister was really heartbreaking. I can't imagine finding out that one of my family members were trying to kill me and my children.
Yeah, but for her she is soooo poor the next thought is how to buy bread. I do not know which is the worst. B/c as the guy said these people do not have the luxury of mourning. Death is so common in Africa that it sometimes loses value. Hence why this madwoman got away with it.
@@africanhistory The way her sister felt, crying thinking of burning to death with her children, buying bread is the least of her problems. People have the will to survive, all living things do. This monster has no feelings. Sounded bored ordering these killings. More emotions heard on a MacDonald's take out order.
I really do appreciate that you pick cases from a multitude of countries and cultures
I live and hour away from her village and this story shocked us all! What blew my mind was her behavior in court. She's clearly a psychopath! She was convinced that she'll get away with this.
Edit: You did a great cover on her story. First time hearing a clear time line of what really happened.
