Henri van Breda, speaks about triple-axe murder on his family by unknown attacker: Rapport newspaper launches demonisation campaign against Afrikaans teen in a 'trial by news media'.
Afrikaans newspapers and police launched propaganda campaign to implicate Afrikaner youth Henri van Breda in the triple-murders of the van Breda family:
In fact Rapport newspaper is doing a 'trial by media', describing claims by neighbouring children and studying satellite pictures of the estate to establish how far away the houses are from one another - and then interviewing
sound-experts to establish how much the children next door may or may not have been able to hear...
“ "Until his sister Marli van Breda, 16, has completely recovered so that she can tell what happened, the police have to ' rely ' on
the version of events as told by the surviving son Henri van Breda, 16, writes Beeld Afrikaans daily about the triple murder-tragedy which has struck the Van Breda family in Stellenbosch.
Marli van Breda is recovering from her coma and now can reply to questions such as 'who are you' and 'what year is it', a source 'close to the family' is being quoted in Rapport
Afrikaans daily. She suffered serious injuries to her head when someone murdered her father Martin 54, mother Teresa 55, and brother Rudi 22, with an axe on 31 January 2015 at their Stellenbosch complex.
Family spokesman Ben Rootman confirmed to Rapport that Advocate Pieter Botha was approached by the family - he also also represented the UK businessman Shrien Dewani who was discharged by the court when he was charged with murdering his young wife Anni on their honeymoon in Cape Town.
Advocate Botha was approached for the legal team representing one of the two surviving children, Henri 20: as 'the family considers it wise under the circumstances to put together a legal team of experts'.
Henri told the police that he was in the bathroom of the millionaire-family's home at De Zalze, Stellenbosch.
He described how an unknown attacker hacked to death his brother Rudi, 22 'with tremendous strength with an axe'.
Henri reportedly told the police that his father Martin then rushed to Rudi's side, trying to help him - and that Martin then was murdered.
Then Teresa, the mother, was murdered and after that, Marli was attacked. Henri said he was knocked out cold and the attacker 'threw the axe at him'.
Henri came to a while later and contacted the police on his cellphone. The police now is 'examining' the memory of this cellphone.
Apparently they aren't interested in trying to find the attacker.
The police said Henri 's cellphone showed that he was on the internet with his phone twice before he reached them - he told them that the teen was looking for the emergency numbers.
The police accuse the traumatised youth of having been 'hardnosed' when he was questioned as a witness, and that he was confused about the dates.
When he spoke about his sister, he burst into tears. Neighbours claim - according to Rootman - that the police believe that all the victims were murdered and injured on 26 January - a monday night, but that Henri only contacted the emergency services at 07h33, on 27 January, the next morning.
Neighbours reported having heard a 'huge rumour' on the night of the 26th at the Van Breda home.
The children of the neighbours have a room closest to the Van Breda home. They woke up around 03h30 am.
No other neighbours came forward. The distances between the houses are in some places as close as five metres from each other in the estate.
A forensic sound-expert who visited De Zalze estate from Johannesburg, but who was not named, noted that the houses on De Zalze estate have 'very thick, soundproofed walls'.
"When the windows and doors are closed, one cannot hear things with any certainty. If you are a light sleeper anything can wake you up, but if you are sleeping deeply, even screaming wouldn't wake you up'.
'Friends' of the family, again unnamed, were quoted about rows in the Van Breda household at 12 Goske Street, wrote Rapport.
Henri suffered from insomnia and his mother had to take him to 'a nurse across the road'.
Henri had been caught smoking marijuana and the teen's graduate-studies were suspended at Melbourne University, Rapport writes.
They quoted a spokesman at the university named as David Scott -ás saying that 'due to 'regulations about privacy we cannot comment on such rumours'.
Rootman said they didn't know anything about such marijuana claims nor the insomnia.
Rapport is hammering this kid: last week they reported that he'd had a brainscan at the Royal Melbourne hospital in Australia but the results were 'negative'.
Rapport quot ed from the 'Western Australian' newspaper which wrote that Henri had to suspend his studies because doctors discovered a growth in his brain'.
He went to live with his parents in South africa 'while undergoing medical treatment'. Rapport quoted the claim without verifying the information.
They also claim that 'the police's forensic team was informed about a possible brain-tumour which was examined'...
Rapport went searching for the youth on Thursday when the Van Breda family members were memorized at the Dutch Reformed Church in Pretoria.
They couldn't find him but his uncle André van Breda told Rapport that the youth definitely attended the service.
"We want to keep him out of the public eye and both sides of the family fully support him', Van Breda reportedly told Rapport.
"We promised him we would not drop him', they concluded the story.
