How Much Longer?

Pretoria. Beeld journalist Hilda Fourie and medical doctor ‘LP’ – A surgeon and other medical personnel – aghast at the horrendous injuries inflicted on an Afrikaner student in Pretoria yesterday – launched a fundraising campaign to pay a reward to the man who captured the girl’s torturer-rapist. Medical personnel also plan to hold a demonstration during the arrested black man’s remand-appearance on Monday between 9:45am and 10:15am outside the Pretoria magistrate’s court to protest against the brutality inflicted on the girl.

The 22-year-old Afrikaner student was ‘virtually disected’, enduring 22 cuts and stabs by a butcher knife according to medical personnel – and then raped by a man who had apparently attempted to break into seven other apartments in the same security complex in Magalieskruin Pretoria where the student also lived.

She fought back fiercely – and he tried to stab out one of her eyes. A deep cut was made from her neck and stopped at her lung. All her fingers were then cut into : her left thumb was carved apart and was just hanging by its senews. Two other fingers’ senews were also cut through. The torturer then forced her to the bedroom and made very deep cutting wounds to her legs. After cutting main arteries on her body (she suffered 22 cuts and stabs in total) she was bleeding copiously, and then he raped her amidsts the bloodbath he had created around her.” Distraught medical personnel including the orthopaedic surgeon who rushed to help her, all were deeply angered and upset, said Dr “LP”  ...
