Liefdesmoord?!!! Love-murder?!!!!

Have you read this garbage from a grandmother? Her grandson allegedly killed his "loved one" because he "... dearly loved her ..."

Read this newspaper article. If you don't understand Afrikaans please ask someone to assist you.

I am hugely upset by this utter nonsense. Does it mean that you have to kill someone if you love that person? Or, because you have not killed your loved one, the deduction is irresistible that you don't love that person?

No, grandma is not the only person punting these horrific thoughts. I encountered it years ago when Ronald Stanley Savage killed his wife in Umhlanga Rocks by stabbing her with a steak knife. The State Prosecutor told me: "He must have loved her dearly."

I relive that horror today when I read what this woman said about her grandson.

No - you cannot expect wisdom even from the elderly.
