Sybrand Jacobus Lodewikus "Louis" van Schoor (Afrikaans pronunciation: [ˈsibrɑnt ˈjakobʏs ˈlʊə̯dəˌvəkʏs fɑn skʊə̯r], 1951 – 25 July 2024), known as the Apartheid Killer, was a South African serial killer, policeman, and security guard who committed murders between 1986 and 1989. He was arrested in 1991 and convicted of seven murders and two assassinations but was released on parole in 2003. It is believed that the total number of his victims was 39, all of them in East London, South Africa. Thirty-two of the killings were described as "justifiable homicides" by police, while Schoor himself insisted that his victims were "criminals" whom he had caught in the act.
Schoor died from sepsis to his leg on 25 July 2024, at the age of 72.
Louis van Schoor was the father of Sabrina van Schoor, who was sentenced to twenty-five years in prison for hiring a hitman to murder her mother in 2002. Both were incarcerated in Fort Glamorgan prison before Louis van Schoor's release in 2004.
