Anc failed this little girl 👧 How do you release a person who has committed 3 murders

WTF is wrong with people!

Tell us why these kilings happen and that its been around for years who does it

They must continue with their bail application so they can come outside to be dealt with

They abandoned bail because they knew outside the community mob is waiting for them.

How can they even consider to give them bail after what they have done.

This bail nonsense is the one that's making our Justice system week, why are they even allowed to ask for bail? How many people are re-offending while on bail, parole. Instead of throwing away the key judges are busy wasting time on bail hearing 😢😢😢

This is so shameful that a woman involved in her sister's kids mutilating & killings... I am so thocked. It honestly heart breaking what's happening in ous country... We surely need to repent to God NOW
