Henri van Breda guilty of triple axe murders

Henri van Breda has been found guilty on all counts in the Western Cape High Court on Monday.

Van Breda, 23, pleaded not guilty to axing his parents and brother to death, seriously injuring his sister Marli, and defeating the ends of justice.

Judge Siraj Desai found him guilty on all counts.

In handing out his judgment, Desai said, “The result is inescapable.”

He also said that Van Breda, who was “unimpressive as a witness” must have known what he was doing.
