I'm Flutter. The citizens of Krugas dole were being terrorized by a slew of brutal murders. Why stab someone 65 times in a chase? It feels like everybody around you is getting murdered. She was born and bred with the thought that she has the power to kill. I'm Kurt Kubicek, filmmaker, storyteller, and host of the new podcast, Queen Havik and her murder cult. It follows the true story of South African ex-satanist

and self-proclaimed witch, Cecilia Stein. She conditioned him to be monsters. This master manipulator used mind-bending lies to deceive a group of devout Christians. If you want to get out of this, we will kill you. There was a car bombing, a burglary, a hijacking theft. There was even a church that they set on fire. Motivated by greed, power and revenge, Queen Havoc's subjects eagerly obeyed her commands

to carry out a four-year killing spree. She actually copied the American serial killers a little bit of Joss Manson, you can see a bit of sons of Sam. The group evaded law enforcement for years. When she said she's going to the police, she ended up dead with 52 stab wounds in her body. She was constantly telling them, don't worry, we know the cops. The cult murdered 11 people in cold blood

until detectives finally hunted them down. The beating, the headboard, the wall, and the roof was full of blood. We are all so horrified by the idea that a mother would sell her daughter in this way. In the world of murderous cults, if Charles Manson is king, Cecilia Stein is queen. She was telling people the Bible since she was not going to kill, but actually she was taking revenge.

From eyewitness accounts, to write along with lead detectives, to interviews in prison with the killers themselves. We follow this story on the ground in South Africa. This is where you like committed the killings. We can call up the search party, could have arrived. Every time you think you understand what's happening, you realize that you're wrong.
