Watch – Mark Lifman: His voice notes and letter of demand sent just days before his assassination

A high-stakes game of cat and mouse. A businessman accused of murder, silenced by an assassin’s bullet. Who pulled the trigger? And what secrets did the victim take to the grave? Caryn Dolley explains.
Watch – Mark Lifman: His voice notes and letter of demand sent just days before his assassination

In murky organised crime arenas, the irrefutable facts take the form of a murder toll. A dead body equates to cold, hard fact. The stories spun around it, some which may be intentionally planted to divert from truth and those guilty of crime, need to be carefully unravelled.

Organised crime suspect Mark Lifman consistently denied accusations that he was linked to lawbreaking.

The businessman was assassinated in the Western Cape town of George on 3 November 2024 while facing accusations, and on trial, for the assassination of another organised crime suspect - Brian “the Steroid King” Wainstein.

Pointless sensationalism from a wannabe reporter. Absolutely nothing newsworthy in this drivel

Why 'assassinated' instead of 'murdered' or just plain 'killed'?
