It's definitely heartbreaking to come across news of atrocities such as these.....It's quite horrible to know that things like these still happen. What infuriates me even more is the fact that he had the heart to rape this underage teen even when he knew that he was HIV positive. My hearfelt prayers go towards the victim and her family.
did they have to adjourn d court case? biko let 'em take him to where he deserves to be..hell.
