Son who slaughtered rich S.African family with axe handed 3 life terms

A young South African man convicted of slaying his wealthy parents and brother and maiming his sister in a frenzied axe attack was handed three life sentences on Thursday. Judge Siraj Desai described 23-year-old Henri Van Breda's January 2015 rampage as "savage and vicious" with "an almost unprecedented degree of disregard for one's family". "Each murderous attack on a family member is a severe crime and warrants the severest punishment," Desai told the packed Western Cape High Court in Cape Town after the headline-making trial.
