Cape Town - As outrage over 8-year-old Tazne van Wyk’s killing mounts, her grieving parents are demanding answers on how her alleged killer was a free man when his criminal record included murder, child abuse and culpable homicide. Moehydien Pangaker, 54, was charged on Friday with the kidnapping and murder of Tazne.
Her traumatised father, Terence Manuel, said: “I want to know why he received parole so many times. It is unacceptable for people like him to roam the streets and prey on children. This country and its laws have failed us.” Pangaker has 11 convictions dating back to 1981 including murder, car theft, assault, housebreaking, culpable homicide and child neglect.
His sentences vary from six lashes, a R50 fine to two years’ imprisonment for murder in a 2001 Kuils River matter.
