Overview
- The Amazon Prime Video documentary "The Facebook Honeytrap: Catching a Killer" premiered on July 27, 2025, recounting how Christine Robinson’s niece mounted a solo online operation to expose the suspect.
- Frustrated by repeated extradition failures, Lehanne Sergison posed as “Missy Falcao” from 2016 to lure gardener Andrea Imbayarwo into revealing his location on Facebook.
- A viral social media post on the sixth anniversary of Robinson’s death on July 30, 2020, prompted his arrest in Johannesburg after years of police stalling.
- In April 2022, Imbayarwo was convicted of rape and murder and sentenced to life imprisonment in a case that defied South Africa’s sub-10 percent conviction rate for sexual offenses.
- The film underscores gaps in cross-border justice, spotlighting South Africa’s deep femicide crisis where only 8.6 percent of reported rapes lead to convictions.
