The Western Cape High Court’s Judge Siraj Desai found the 23-year-old guilty of murdering his parents and brother, and attempting to murder his sister at their De Zalze home in Stellenbosch in 2015. 

Investigative forensic psychologist Professor Gerard Labuschagne and former Colonel Bronwynn Stollarz joined Martin Bester on air on Tuesday.

 Professor Labuschagnesays there are many interesting points to consider around the highly-publicised case.

Van Breda axed his family to death. He maintained that there was an intruder who broke in and killed his family, however the judge found this version of events to be untrue, as there was no evidence to suggest a breach in security at the gated complex on the night of the murders.
