Notorious apartheid police commander "Prime Evil" testifies on killings

Eugene de Kock, the apartheid-era police commander known as "Prime Evil," testified that a fellow officer sought his help concealing evidence in a series of killings. De Kock's account implicates additional officials in both the murders and subsequent efforts to obstruct justice during South Africa's white-minority rule. His testimony carries weight because de Kock himself led a notorious unit responsible for extrajudicial killings and torture, making him a key insider witness to state violence under apartheid. The former commander's willingness to testify suggests possible cooperation with investigators seeking accountability for crimes committed during the regime. De Kock is currently serving multiple life sentences for his role in killings carried out under apartheid.
