Showmax has unveiled trailers for Dark Side of Glory, a riveting true crime documentary series that uncovers shocking murders in the sports world.
The series aims to shed light on systemic issues in sports that lead to such tragedies. The first episode, The Durban Axe Murderer: The Rugby Killer, about South African rugby player Joseph Ntshongwana, premieres on Wednesday, 31 July 2024.
The second episode, Death in the Heartlands, premieres on Showmax on Wednesday, 7 August 2024. This 86-minute documentary investigates the 2021 murders of three Kenyan female runners: Edith Muthoni, Agnes Tirop, and Damaris Muthee Mutua, all allegedly killed by their partners or coaches.
Agnes Tirop, an Olympian and two-time World Athletic Championship medalist, was found stabbed to death in her Iten home shortly after setting a 10,000m world record. Iten, known as the “Home of Champions,” was rocked by her murder.
“The culture of elite sport is that we celebrate tunnel vision in order to pursue our goals. But then we become highly vulnerable,” says Yale academic Dr. Yetsa Tuakli-Wosornu.
Interviews in the episode include insights from criminal investigator Andolo Munga, coach Joseph Cheromei, Tirop’s family, and Olympian Viola Cheptoo Lagat, co-founder of Tirop’s Angels, an organization fighting gender-based violence.
Directed by Arianna Perretta and produced by CMG Productions, the series highlights harrowing real-life stories. CMG Productions previously won Best Documentary at the 2023 Broadcast Digital Awards and received a 2024 True Crime Award nomination.

Jennifer Lopez has reportedly filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, marking the end of their two-year marriage.
The pop icon, 55, and the Hollywood actor, 52, were previously engaged in the early 2000s, but parted ways before reconciling in 2021. Despite rekindling their romance, the couple has now decided to separate.
According to documents obtained by TMZ, Lopez filed the legal papers on Tuesday, August 20, 2024, in L.A. County Superior Court without legal representation. Interestingly, this date coincides with the second anniversary of their elaborate Georgia wedding, which took place just two months after their initial Las Vegas ceremony.
The legal filings indicate that the couple separated on April 26, 2024. Although the divorce documents reportedly do not mention a prenuptial agreement, TMZ sources claim there was never one in place.
Rumors of trouble between the pair have circulated for some time, but Lopez, who shares 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Anthony and is stepmother to Affleck’s children with Jennifer Garner—Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12—has remained silent on the matter. As recently as a few months ago, Lopez emphasized the “real, true love” that existed between her and Affleck, making the split all the more surprising.

The 27-year-old Grammy-winning artist will play a significant role in the festivities at the Stade de France on Sunday, August 11, 2024. Her performance will be part of the handover ceremony to the 2028 Los Angeles Games, adding a touch of American culture to the grand finale of this year’s competition.
H.E.R.’s participation adds to the excitement surrounding the Closing Ceremony, which will also feature a breathtaking stunt by Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise.
According to sources, the 62-year-old actor will descend from the top of the Stade de France, carrying the official Olympic flag. The stunt, which will be televised, is expected to be one of the highlights of the ceremony.
As part of the event, the broadcast will transition to a pre-recorded film showing Cruise’s journey from Paris to Los Angeles. The film will capture the actor skydiving down to the iconic Hollywood sign before passing the Olympic flag to a group of athletes, including a cyclist, a volleyball player, and a skateboarder, as they make their way through the City of Angels.
The Los Angeles segment of the stunt was filmed in March, with insiders revealing that the production team managed to keep the shoot under wraps despite the potential for leaks. However, logistics for the French portion of the stunt are still being finalized, with the possibility that Cruise might use a stunt double for the actual descent.
In addition to these high-profile performances, it was recently announced that Team USA gold medalists Katie Ledecky and Nick Mead will have the honor of serving as flag bearers during the ceremony.

Jamaican dancehall sensation Konshens is back with a new single, “Shek It,” a vibrant track that blends Afro-Latin rhythms with his signature dancehall flair.
Produced by Costa Rica’s BomboCat, the song is accompanied by a dynamic, movie-style music video directed by Rizzy, adding suspense and a fresh twist to the genre.
Speaking on the release, Konshens says, “This marks the return of Dancehall to its glory days, all about fun and the dance floor.” He also shares a heartfelt message to his African fans: “Thank you for the love you’ve shown me, Dancehall, and Jamaican culture. The feeling is mutual, and I hope you enjoy this one!”
The inspiration behind “Shek It” is particularly special to Konshens, as he recorded the track in Kenya during an after-party, capturing the energy and excitement of the moment.
This single follows his recent success with “Look Good” and is the lead track from his upcoming studio project, expected later in 2024.
