Pretoria schoolgirl stabbed to death, hands hacked off

A Pretoria schoolgirl who stayed at home with an ear infection was stabbed to death and had her hands chopped off, reports Beeld newspaper.

I don't know guy's but I read stories like this and it further ads to my not caring about capital punishment. I sincerely find absolutely no use in keeping around any animal capable of doing anything remotely close to this. A complete and utter waste of resources that people should not be forced to give up. Society has enough problems getting their own "personal" bills payed let alone money that goes towards keeping creatures capable of this fed, clothed, showered, housed and entertained.

I'd rather bring the guillotine back so as not to waste the resources involved in lethal injection. At least we can keep the blade sharpened and reuse it

I agree. I have no desire to to heal these folks.



Just put them to sleep.

The offender(s) obviously chopped the poor girls hands off so as to minimize the chance they'd be found by the DNA left under her nails after a probable struggle.

Oh dear how my heart hurts when things such as this happens

I am all for capitol punishment, when 100% certain of the guilt of the accused.

I am only concerned with making certain you have the right person before lopping their head.

With the advancements made with DNA identification, I would like to believe capitol punishment would be the ultimate solution.

DNA has made getting the person who comitted the crime a certainty. I'm pro capital punishment especially for cases like this, no appeals just death.

I don't know that that is completely true. Firstly, it depends on the crime.

Biological evidence is not always left at the scene by the criminal.

And, The presence of DNA does not, in and of itself, prove guilt. It only proves the owner of the DNA was at that location, at some time.

True, it can be fairly convincing in a case of rape, but not necessarily of murder.

If you have DNA and other evidence of the persons involvement in the murder I would say it's a slam dunk.

A group of Prolific violent car Jackers In the States pounced on a car as It stopped at the lights. The young man was beaten to death Infront of his young girlfriend and then they turned on her. They trussed her up like a suckling pig and repeatedly gang raped her. They mutilated her genitals and anus with a chair leg. Then they poured bleach on her genitals to remover DNA. They then battered her almost to death and believing she was dead, they tossed her In a dumpster. By some miracle, some-one found her and she survived. She told of her story In this magazine.

The Police got every-one of them and It was their gang who was responsible for a string of violent car-jackings. They all face life In prison. Just gas the bastards and be done with It.

Well, moral certainty cannot be dictated by the definition of a majority. Moral certainty is set in stone and there's only one true answer.

I do know that this answer consists of any percentage of uncertainty, with regards to capitol punishment, completely obliterates my definition of "appropriation".

Even if someone is 99.99% sure of one's guilt then capitol punishment is by default immoral.

I personally understand the question as being philosophical and when this is considered upon my 100% certainty of one's guilt to crimes even remotely close to a couple mentioned in this thread I find those to be worth equal in proportion to a pile of garbage. I recycle garbage

The answer is crime prevention and not retribution lest we continue to inspire the exact same philosophy of "appropriate killing" which is left up to the context of those using it ultimately placing morality in the hands of a majority which is mathematically=divinely wrong

Upon the level in which people as a collective equivalent cannot afford to detain people that are a risk to the health of society both free and detained then they shall be put to death

The Party I represent If ever given power will execute Murderers and Peadophiles. I have to admit that this Is a grey area for me as many murderers do not mean to kill. However, people like the car jackers I wrote about can not even be called animals because I do not know of an animal that would do that to his own.

I think I can honestly say that I have never been so moved as by that young girls couragous story and what they did to her played on my mind for some time. The details she gave of her Injuries were not even half way to describing what they did to her. Her ordeal lasted several hours and there had to have been a point where any-one of that gang could have said 'Enough' but they didn't. I'd have absolutely no qualms In being the one to fry them.

The chap accused of the murder has now appeared in court, there's a write-up at Second suspect in Anika case: News24: South Africa: News

As expected, it's a family acquaintance who's been put on trial. It would appear there's more to be uncovered in terms of others involved.

Ventor has been accused not found guilty mike...

I pronounce that all courtrooms retain the modo "Guilty until proven innocent" because there would be absolutely no other reason to accuse anyone otherwise...The public seems to agree yet when applied to themselves they find it rather coarse and vulgar.

I agree, but I also agree that DNA matching at the scene of the crime with other implicative details is enough to throw away the key.

And, sure enough, six months on the prosecution admits they've never had a shred of evidence against Nico Venter and they've dropped all charges. The police succeeded in lifting pressure from their shoulders by charging him and presumably they're hoping nobody will make much of a public fuss that they've failed to track down the actual killer.National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesman Mthunzi Mhaga said: “We feel there is nothing linking the accused to the offence at this stage.” He said the NPA had requested police to continue investigating the case.

In May police said they were hunting for a second suspect, but at the time Lieutenant Colonel Lungelo Dlamini declined to provide further details. Police spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Eugene Opperman said that police were continuing their investigations. He said investigators had reached the conclusion that Venter was not linked in any way to the case.

If the police were fully effective in detecting and prosecuting crime it would be a great deal rarer. Policing as it stands now in every Western country is shockingly ineffective. We need new techniques.

God that's atrocious

He said the police had now shifted their focus to him on the basis of a statement he made to police on March 10, regarding the circumstances of his daughter's death.March ffs! I understand that all people need not automatically be ruled out just because they're family but this is horrible. If they had questions they should have asked them in March, not doing the equivalent to poking this person with a red hot iron prod seemingly forever

The chap this thread was keen to have judicially killed is now "claiming R285 000 from the police for his alleged unlawful arrest". The police, you'll remember, then turned on her father as a scapegoat and then the news dried up. Nobody appears to be awaiting trial. I said earlier in the thread that the underlying problem to deterring rape and murder is inadequate policing. Goodness knows what sort of message this case has sent to the public at large.

I thought we might wake this thread up. More of the story will emerge in the next month or so.

There are 96 witnesses on the list that might be called to try and clarify who is responsible for the death of Smit.

Her father, Johan Smit, and her ex-boyfriend, Nico Venter, were added as interested parties in the inquest, but not as suspects. Five years after the murder, no suspects have been arrested.

Criminal law expert, Llwellyn Curlewis, says the state asks for an inquest into a death once the National Prosecuting Authority finds there are no suspects or enough evidence to arrest a suspect. A magistrate presides over the inquest. The inquest can be informal, in the magistrate’s chambers, or formal taking the form of a mini-trial with people testifying.

“To determine one of four aspects, namely the identity of the deceased, the date of the deceased, obviously the reason or the cause of the death of the deceased and ultimately whether a person should be held liable, prima faci, which means at first glance thereof,” says Curlewis.

This is the sort of inquest where everyone's incidental dirty linen is being exposed. The real underlying puzzle is why the police investigation achieved so little.

It's silly to say "one hopes this has nothing to do with the killing", because something must have been. Even so, without any physical evidence the inquest is faced with guesswork. There should have been physical evidence, that's whee the problem lies - in the investigation.
