Cowboys Don't Cry
Meet South Africa's most experienced homicide detective
After 25 years of fighting crime in one of the most violent societies in the world, Superintendent Crafford has visited more than 2000 murder scenes. Ranging from farm murders in Middelburg, family murder in Carolina to the violence in Soweto during the late 1980s and early 90s.
"I'm in the mud. I can't take it anymore", says Anton Crafford, one of South Africa's most experienced policemen. Time after time, he has combed the area for evidence: blood, hair, human tissue, cartridges, bullet points and clothing. "We are the people who have to scratch around in the mud, the blood and the sweat". We are told that one of the scenes was so horrific that a police chaplain was sent in to pray for Crafford and his men. "I can relive every crime scene. I see myself bending over bodies. I see the most beautiful movies every night." Contains shocking footage from forensic videos.
