Rosemary Ndlovu: South Africa's Killer Cop

from History's Biggest Villains · host Jay Peezy

Rosemary Ndlovu was a relatively normal person growing up in South Africa. She joined the police force and worked her way up to become a sergeant. But unbeknownst to everyone, she had a gambling addiction, and she was in deep water with loan sharks. In order to clear her debts, she took out dozens of life insurance policies on her family members, hiring hitmen to kill them, although she wasn’t above murder herself. Even after she had earned over a million rand due to the deaths of six of her family members, her greed knew no bounds. She then plotted on her mother, her sister and her five children. But when one of the potential victims included a 5 month old baby, the hitman was disgusted and informed the police, who set up a sting operation. While an undercover policeman posing as a hitman drove her to her destination, Rosemary, unaware that was being recorded, gave the undercovers a detailed plan of how to execute this murder,but she was immediately arrested, putting an end to one of the country’s most sensational crime stories.
