Hannah Cornelius was murdered in 2017 after being attacked while sitting in her car outside a friend’s residence.

The case gained international attention, with CCTV footage showing the moment she was attacked outside Cheslin Marsh’s residence, before enduring 11 hours of assault before her murder.

While the case has been covered in great detail, TimesLIVE reports that a new true-crime documentary, Last Blue Ride: The Hannah Cornelius Story, is set to debut on Showmax on April 1.

Journalist Anthony Molyneaux says that although he has covered “dozens of brutal crimes and their court cases” he was most affected by the murder of Cornelius:

The court case revealed that the men who committed the brutal crimes were members of the notorious Numbers gang that operates in SA prisons. The list of their prior crimes ran to multiple pages.

The documentary, which includes interviews with journalists and a criminologist, also looks deeper into the Numbers gang and rehabilitation processes in SA’s prison system to try to understand why the recidivism rate in SA is thought to be as high as 87%.

Molyneaux serves as both director and producer on the true-crime doccie:

The documentary will also include interviews with her family and friends.

In 2018, Molyneaux mapped out “the horrendous hell-ride” endured by Cornelius and Marsh which ended in a high-speed car chase through Stellenbosch and the arrest of the murderers:
