Unthinkable: The Heartbreaking Case of Ellen Pakkies | South African True Crime

NEW episodes EVERY week! Hello episode 63 of Murder & Mayhem: True Crime with Bella Monsoon…me! About the episode: It is said that no one can love you, like a mother can. That blood is thicker than water and that family is more important than anything else. What happens though when a mother is pushed to breaking point? What could drive her to do the unthinkable? And what happens after? In 2007, in the notorious suburb of Lavender Hill in Cape Town, one woman would take the life of the child she brought into the world. And the news would leave some divided and many more questioning the deeper factors at play. This is the heart-wrenching case of Ellen Pakkies ❤ Substance-Abuse Resources ❤ Call Lines: SADAG Social Development Substance Abuse Line 24hr helpline 0800 12 13 14 Al-ANON 0861 252 666 Websites www.na.org.za lifelinesa.co.za www.alanon.org.za www.lifelinejhb.org.za Rehab Centres (South Africa) New Journey Treatment Centre (CPT) Wellvale Recovery Centre (KZN) Houghton House Recovery Centres (JHB) (and there are 100's more- search Rehabilitation Centres in [insert your area] to find them) TO VIEW & SHOP THE SELF-DEFENSE KEYCHAIN & HAIR PIGMENT RANGE - https://bellamonsoon.com ❤ Bella, why are certain words muted?! ❤ I partially mute some words as I am constantly trying to ensure the videos meet community guidelines and policies according to the creator program. So I am experimenting with different approaches (whilst keeping the story intact and not leaving out elements altogether) in order to hopefully reach a good space for the channel and of course the #BellaBoos! The uncensored versions of my content can be found on Patreon page [Bella Monsoon] as the guidelines are a lot less strict on that side❤️ Oh If you’re new to the channel, here it is in a nutshell. I’m a mental health professional, true crime fanatic AND makeup lover. Inspired by the Youtube True Crime & Beauty movement- I decided to combine the three and bring you the potential psychological motives behind real life crimes whilst completing an easy to create makeup look (every alternate week that is!) ❤ For more South African True Crime:    • Makeup & Mayhem: True Crime with Bella Mon...   ❤ But Bella, why makeup and True Crime though? ❤ Did you know that watching, reading or listening to true crime can be a form of catharsis? It can form a safe way to feel and process negative emotions. So in a way, it’s a type of therapy! For those who are more sensitive to the nature of the topics discussed, the makeup tutorial serves as a buffer. ❤SUBMIT A STORY ❤ If you have a story you would like me to research and chat about- let me know in the comments or submit your story HERE: https://forms.gle/ENU2hMvK4UnHue5U9 ❤ SUPPORT THE CHANNEL ❤ Without each and every one of you, I wouldn’t be able to do what I do.
