Forensic psychologist and former colonel reveals interesting facts about the van Breda murder
Henri van Breda is set to spend a long time behind bars
after he was found guilty of murdering his family.
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 to discuss the case.
Professor Labuschagne says there are interesting points to consider around the highly-publicised case.
The Van Breda family were hacked to death and the perpetrator 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.
