According to an exclusive report in News24, a psychiatrist who treated the alleged 17-year-old killer of Overberg High School student Deveney Nel warned in 2020 already that he was "at high risk of offending and continuing to use physical violence". The warning came after he was first arrested for the rape of an 11-year-old four years ago – but instead of being treated or possibly institutionalised, the teenager slipped through the cracks.

According to the reports, the then-14-year-old took the girl on a hike, and later "nonchalantly" returned to the campground without the child. The girl's mother became worried and went looking for her, only to find the little girl unconscious, covered in blood, and with barbed wire wrapped around her neck by the campsite river. The poor child would later describe how her 'friend' had physically and sexually assaulted her.
