Senseless Murders happen all the time



If criminals do not have guns, they will use knives and whatever other weapons they find, to kill their victims. Murdering people seem to happen every day in South Africa. Some of the crimes are family related, and some are related to drugs and theft.

A young man stabbed his mother to death and was held in custody, why he did this is unknown, and we will probably never hear the story again. He remains in police custody and will probably let out on bail. The justice system is a failed system. 

In another incident, a woman was attacked stabbed while bystanders looked on. Nobody tried to intervene; perhaps they thought it was a road show. Fortunately, her life has been spared. What a traumatic experience. In broad daylight, the victim was attacked, and the possible motive was robbery.

It is dangerous to walk around the streets, and it is dangerous in your own home. It is really a terrible situation for the people of South Africa to live a life filled with the thought of being another victim of senseless crime.

Brutal Centurion stabbing did not happen at Gautrain Station
Gautrain has dismissed the claim that a Midrand woman was viciously stabbed on Saturday at the Centurion Gautrain Station after graphic images circulated on social media on Monday.
According to the Centurion Record the caption on Facebook that accompanied the pictures read, "Woman attacked by thugs with a knife at Centurion Gautrain Station, while people sat on the pavement and just watched. Had to have emergency surgery at hospital. After the recent spate of incidents, we advise against using the Gautrain Station. ”
Gautrain confirmed via Twitter that the incident did not take place at the Centurian Gautrain Station

The woman, who would like to remain anonymous, was stabbed several times on her left arm, down the road from the Centurion Gautrain Station.
According to eNCA, the woman thought the attacker was a municipal worker when he approached her.
“I thought the attacker was a municipal employee when he approached me. He grabbed my handbag, but I put up a fight. And then he said in Afrikaans that he was gonna (sic) stab me if I don't give him my phone,” she said.
The woman was lying bleeding on the pavement surrounded by bystanders when Yvonne Rudman and her husband stopped their vehicle and took her to the hospital where she had surgery that day.
"I took the photos of her in hospital (with her permission)  and shared them on Facebook and then it went viral," said Yvonne.
