ON January 31, 1997, life as our family knew it came to an end due to our beloved son being brutally murdered in South Africa. He was 26.

On July 1, 2000, a beautiful, innocent child was taken from a family and found murdered two weeks later. Their family life as they knew it has also come to an end.

Only when it happens to you, can you comment about what the vast majority of decent people think. Hanging is too good for people who murder and take lives.

Comment only when it happens to you, but not before.
