Ex-South Africa rugby star ‘murders at least three people with an axe in revenge for gang-rape of his daughter’
30th March 2011
A newspaper claimed the unnamed 34-year-old sportsman had launched a murderous rampage in revenge after his daughter was gang-raped and infected with HIV.
Only a Voice of the Crust could call that ‘murder’.
Meanwhile some fear the tragedy could create fresh fissures in South Africa’s fragile race relations.
The vast majority of South African rugby stars are white and it is possible the suspect could be accused of deliberately targeting black victims.
Perhaps he objected to a gang of black thugs raping and infecting his daughter. Does that come as such a surprise? It’s not as if the South African police are all that efficient at preventing — or solving — violent crimes.
