Son-in-law in mother-in-law's bed! On his knees
Don’t mess outside marriage – it seems to me as if the
silent invisible bystander is the Angel of Death. We all know the "nice words" describing an adulterous relationship: skelm, skelmpie and so on. This is dangerous stuff and not to be caught in that web.
It seems as if women are not
safe with their lovers – be it in marriage or not.
It is not monotonous to read
about another woman that was killed and that her lover [be it a husband or not]
is the prime suspect; it is extremely upsetting. Howard Feldman writes and asks
the question: Are bathroom doors killing SA women? You can read it by clicking

He refers to Oscar Pistorius
and Jason Rohde. The cutting edge difference between these two is that Oscar is
a murderer. Rohde is not guilty of anything and neither you nor I can accuse him
of anything. He is a suspect; he was only arrested on Tuesday 22 August 2016 at
his home in Bryanston. If you want to read that story, click here.
It is suggested that the
statement “… women are not safe with their lovers …” are not entirely true and
yet … Yet, there are women who are not safe.
Some years ago I was in the
company of a state advocate where we were interacting in a murder case. During
our tough and difficult discussions, he blurted out: “He must have loved her
dearly!”
I was beside myself when he
said that. Does that mean you kill your wife because you love her?
This “husband” killed his
“wife” in cold blood and tried to commit suicide. He eventually was found
guilty of murder and served a prison sentence. When he gave evidence at his
trial, he burst out crying. The state advocate got a chance amid his
heartrending sobs and asked him: “Mister, why are you crying?” We had to wait
sometime for him to calm down and then he answered: “My wife is dead.”
You probably still remember the case of Fred Van
Der Vyfer who was found not guilty of the murder of his girlfriend Inge Lotz in
Stellenbosch some time ago? You can read a portion of his story by clicking
here. The murderer is still at large. I wonder whether Fred is curious to know who
killed his girlfriend?
BEELD of Wednesday 23 August
2016 on page 7 carries this horrific story about a man and his mother-in-law
being in bed together. St Paul refers in 1 Corinthians 5 verses 1 – 2 about a
similar kind of immoral affair. You can read Paul’s views here.
