Cape Town — Western Cape High Court Judge Siraj Desai has sentenced Henri Van Breda to three life sentences for the murder of his parents and brother. He also received a sentence of 15 years for the attempted murder of his sister, Marli, and one year for obstruction of justice.
During the proceedings Judge Desai told Van Breda: "You have displayed no remorse ... Although you are relatively young, and with no previous convictions, your conduct warrants the severest penalty."
