NATIONAL NEWS: ‘My brush with evil’
There may have been another man linked to one of South Africa’s most reviled serial killers, Gert van Rooyen.

A 51-year-old woman has come forward after staying silent for 39 years to tell how she escaped the clutches of notorious paedophile and murderer, Gert van Rooyen.
Today she lives in England, but at the time of the incident she was living in Redhill, Durban North.
“I’m doing this to say sorry to the victims I could have saved, and to have Tim* brought to justice because there is no doubt in my mind that he was very much a part of this tragedy.”
