Coming up on 3rd Degree:

Episode title: Justice delayed, justice denied?

Broadcast date: Tuesday, 12 June 2012

Teaser ....

One night in 2007, 16 year old Charlene du Preez went out for karaoke with friends and didn’t come home. In the early hours of the next morning she was found on a railway line, burnt to death and dismembered. Police were called onto the scene, collected her body.

Desperate for answers, her family went back to the crime scene and were shocked to find evidence police had failed to collect.

Weeks later a family friend also went to the scene and was disturbed to find a hand, which turned out to be Charlene’s. The case was handed over to top detectives 2 years after the murder and they had to start it from scratch.

Today, Charlene’s killers still roam the streets. 5 years on the family is still seeking answers as to why police made such basic blunders.

3rd Degree looks at our criminal justice system and asks why we can’t get crime prosecution right?



3rd Degree is on e.tv and the eNews channel on Tuesdays at 21h30.

Somehow while I was watching yesterdays episode i became so angry like VERY annoyed. It opened old wounds. My dad was also murdered in 1996 & the same guy who shot him tried to kill my mum but luckily God said NO. She lost her memory and 2day she cant put anything heavy on top of her head because the doctors said her head is like a cracked egg. She suffers from headache almost every day. Even after my mom’s incident the same guy was free, I mean he was bragging of how tough he is. At least we were lucky coz we knew who did it unlike the du Preez’s family. 

I can’t remember how long they postponed this trial but he decided to commit suicide in 2001. That’s why i always say if anyone i mean ANYONE hurt my family again i swear i would deal with that person alone. I wont wait for our justice system i will be the one who’s going to jail.
