Reyka on SBS – In 1994 South Africa, a multiracial couple’s daughter is kidnapped. She escapes, and as an adult she becomes a detective.
Haunted by her past, the flawed but brilliant criminal profiler investigates a string of brutal murders committed by a serial killer amongst the sugarcane fields of KwaZulu-Natal. Reyka stars Kim Engelbrecht, Iain Glen and Anna-Mart van der Merwe.
Series One, Episode Two:
Reyka and the police investigate the six decomposed bodies found in the cane fields.
Hector’s theory is that it’s an inkabi (hitman) dump site, but Reyka is more convinced by a potential serial killer. After autopsy, the bodies are found to all be female with evidence of binding around the hands and ankles.
This leads the police to set in motion a raid on a worker hostel where a suspect, Macingwane, is discovered. Reyka stakes out Macingwane and follows him to a cane field where she catches him in an act of arson.
Reyka – New Series Premiere – Monday, 17 April at 10.55pm on SBS and SBS on Demand (8 parts)
