Thabo Bester: Creepy confession from rapist, murderer [video]

A chilling confession of Thabo Bester from more than a decade ago, admitting to his crimes, has re-emerged. This amid an active search to track down the man dubbed the “Facebook Rapist,” who faked his death and escaped prison last year.

In the clip –  filmed by forensic psychologist Dr Gerard Labuschagne in 2011 – a then 23-year-old Bester acknowledges that he has raped two women and killed another.

However, Bester claims the murder was “accidental.” He also claims that “if he wanted to” rape and murder his victims, he would have done things “differently.”

Bester was found guilty raping two women in hotel rooms in 2011 after luring them on social media under the guise of being a model scout. A year later, he was also convicted of raping and murdering his girlfriend, Nomfundo Tyhulu, at a Cape Town guest house.

THABO BESTER CONFESSION HAS PUBLIC REELING

In twenty minute clip, Thabo Bester touches on multiple topics relating to his arrests.

They include:

The “accidental” murder of his girlfriend, whom he stabbed to death

“If I wanted to kill her, I would’ve killed her in Durban, or the first night we got to Cape Town. I could have got her to Mtatha, where there are much less people, and killed her there.

“My intentions were never to kill anyone. With her, I liked her, but things got twisted…and we had a fight.”

Being haunted by his actions

“It drained me night and day. It ate me inside. I could not sleep”.

Handing himself over to the police

“I wanted to do right where I did wrong; I wanted to take responsibility. I wanted to give the people who got hurt in the process justice”.

Raping two women

“The rapes happened in a way where I didnt know [I was committing rape] until I left the premises. If I knew I was doing rape, I could’ve covered myself up by using certain methods.

“It only became known to me when I left.”

A desire to provide comfort and closure to victims’ families

“I do not want to put anyone through suffering. I never had a life, so if I go to jail forever, I don’t care.

A desire to one day be free

“As a human being, I want to be free one day, despite the fact that I feel guilty and [what I did was] wrong”.

A DANGER TO OTHER WOMEN?

In the clip, Thabo was asked if he felt he was a danger to society and women in general.

He responded: “All these incidents happened…but I also feel that you should not worry about leaving your woman in a room with me [or] that I will rape her.”

Labuschagne now believes otherwise. Speaking to News24 this week, he claimed that Thabo posed a risk to the public.

He said: “I don’t think his partner is at risk, but I definitely think he’s at risk of doing something to another girl. He’s proven that he is a serial rapist, so you must treat him as one”.
