Author Description

The Van Breda murders were the killing of three family members and the serious injuring of another on 27 January 2015 at a golf estate in Stellenbosch, Western Cape, South Africa. After a year-and-a-half of investigations by the South African Police Service, the family's youngest son, Henri Christo van Breda, surrendered to police in June 2016 and was released on bail the next day. Is he guilty? Did Henri van Breda butcher his family to death with an ax? Indefensible skirts around simple questions and obvious answers in search of deeper, darker secrets. Why? What is the operative psychology shadow-boxing in that subliminal, out-of-sight place?
