The Griekwastad Farm Murders

Jiles, I am SO impressed with your pronunciation on most of the names. Not bad, at all! Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa 🇿🇦. And yes, he is a monster.

What a POS! His poor sister

[@AnnieBoBannie421]

To see his family hugging him like that is the most disgusting part…. Do they really believe he didn’t do it? Have they forgiven it? He’ll be less than 40 yrs old when he’s released (maybe younger) ……plenty of time to carry on being a monster…..

[@toastercatx]

Of course they believe it was "some black man"... Why would they blame their own when they have a whole other race to hold accountable..

Monsters, love monsters disgusting

[@Jessica-yh6pg]

This is absolutely disgusting. 20 years? For annihilating his whole family? And viciously S/A his own sister ??? What a freaking disgrace for a judicial system. At least 20 years for EACH member would have been better. When he gets out , he will still have Plenty of time to still enjoy life with no regrets while living off his family inheritance-blood money. Very creepy to see his family member ls hug him as if he was this innocent little boy? Did they not know about the evidence?

[@grumpygremlin2379]

I don't think he'll get the money, but you're right. Twenty years is a slap on the wrist.

[@maritazietsman7691]

He was sentenced to the maximum that's allowed for a juvenile. In SA, if you're under 18, regardless of your crime, you will not be tried and sentenced as an adult. It's a disgrace, yes however that's how our justice system.... We're one of the few countries in the world that actually releases serial killers as a life sentence is only 25 years, and even if you receive 20 life sentences, they're ALWAYS concurrent.

[@jennifermaddy2442]

At least this story didnt happen in Canada or Spain.Their sentences are absolutely pathetic

One correction at 23:29... SA does not have juries. For high court cases we have a judge and 2 adjudicators, so the judge was addressing the court with his summary, not asking the jury anything.

[@xoxorosequartz]

were there any signs?

[@ZarpSterr]

Then you'll know he was raped at the Boarding school, before he transferred to the local school......all swept under the carpet by the authorities. Other boys were also raped there. A certain female journalist stated this, after research. That is the origin of all this evil. The teacher walked away......obviously connected to the Authorities.
