Sharon and Rob Matthews, parents of the murdered student Leigh Matthews, at the parole hearing of Donovan Moodley in which he was denied parole. Moodley this week won a high court order instructing the parole board to hold a new hearing for him.On Reconciliation Day, when most South Africans were enjoying the start of a long weekend, Rob Matthews heard the man who murdered his daughter and was refused parole had managed to get the decision overturned.
Moodley pleaded guilty to kidnapping Leigh from Bond University campus in Sandton on July 9 2004, a day after she turned 21. He told the court he took a R50,000 ransom payout from her father before shooting her dead in the veld in Walkerville where her body was found 12 days later. At the end of the hearing the parole board decided Moodley should not be allowed to go free and the case was referred to justice & correctional services minister Ronald Lamola for confirmation.
I am disillusioned and disappointed and there is no question we will fight this with great vigour when it goes ahead.The court said it was impossible to establish the veracity of Moodley’s claims, because the minutes of the hearing were “incoherent”.
Where is the ANC Womens league? Why is this not getting enough media coverage?
Donovan Moodley does not deserve to be released. This heartless killer has never shown remorse for his heinous deed. stayput
