One of South Africa’s most wanted men, Gerhardus Jansen van Vuuren who allegedly stalked, punched and stabbed his ex-girlfriend to death in front of neighbours and security guards in her gated estate, was rearrested in Rio de Janiero.
“It was a tragic thing that happened.
“He was very aggressive to all of us. He abused us all, all the way to my daughter losing her life,” he said, referring to Venter as his “meisiekind”.supports HTML5 videoIn 2011, Jansen van Vuuren was twice denied bail as a flight risk. But the IT technician was released on R15000 bail by Judge Fritz van Oosten, and vanished soon afterwards. The last time he signed in to comply with his bail conditions was on May 15, 2013.
After serving two years of his four-year, four-month jail sentence for passport fraud, Jansen van Vuuren was inexplicably released in the middle of 2016, and had not been seen again, until his arrest this week. For Venter’s parents, Dries and Anntjie, the disappearance of their daughter’s alleged killer left them fearing for their lives.
