This is a horrible and unthinkable crime…these monsters deserve the worst punishment possible…
South African Men Could Get Life For Brutally Murdering Teen
A South African community is rightfully in an uproar over the brutal murder of a local 17-year-old girl committed at the hands of two scumbag men who forced her into sex before slitting her stomach down to her private parts and leaving her to die for 10 days. She was able to identify one of her attackers just before passing away.
South Africa’s women’s minister called on Tuesday for the toughest possible sentence for two men accused of “forcing sex” and murdering a teenage girl, a crime that shocked a nation hardened by some of the world’s highest rates of sexual violence.
At a hearing in the sleepy town of Bredasdorp, 130 km (80 miles) east of Cape Town, Minister of Women Lulu Xingwana hugged and offered condolences to the family of murdered 17-year-old Anene Booysen, who was left to die on a building site 10 days ago after being forced into sex. Her stomach had been slit open down to her ge****ls.
“We are saying to the court today there must be no bail for these criminals and monsters,” Xingwana told reporters.
“We expect the toughest and the harshest sentence that can act as a deterrent to other criminals that abuse and kill our women and children,” she said.
Her unusual intervention follows widespread condemnation, including from President Jacob Zuma, of a crime that has brought attention to the shockingly high levels of violence against women and children in South Africa.
The suspects face a maximum life sentence if found guilty.
These animals deserve life in prison and then some. This is truly disgusting.
