Beschreibung
<p>Why do people "e;lose their heads"e;? Chris Mahlangu, who murdered Eugene TerreBlanche, did not just bludgeon him to death, it was reported that TerreBlanches body had been hacked and beaten 28 times with a steel pipe, a piece of broken steel from burglar bars. And this while he was lying on his back sleeping. It was a bloodbath. One young man clubbed a nurse to death with a piece of wood and her boyfriend into ICU. Another bashed both his adoptive parents unconscious with a cricket bat before stabbing each in the torso more than 20 times and then slitting his fathers throat. A male prostitute struck his friend so many times with a knobkierie after his "e;indecent suggestions"e; that he died of a skull fracture. Why would a heterosexual man who often sleeps with prostitutes pick up a boy at a shopping centre and molest him? <br><br>Five case studies about real-life South African violent criminals as told by seasoned crime writer Carla van der Spuy and clinical psychologist Dr Henk Swanepoel. <br><br>The book contains information about personality disorders, each criminals background, the day of the crime, the court case, Dr Swanepoels interviews and findings, to the follow-up prison visit face to face with the offender.</p>
