twelve-year-old girl from Danville who went missing out of bed last night. She looks… well, I’m not certain what to make of this one, to be honest.”
“Let’s start with the obvious then. What’s the victim’s name?” I ask.
“Carol-Anne Brewis,” Detective Mosepi says and hands me the photograph of a beautiful girl in her school uniform. “Blonde hair, blue eyes. Basically van Rooyen’s type, if you know what I mean.”
I nod, bite the inside of my cheek as I glance at the tent, and look back at the detective.
“It’s bad.” He confirms my suspicions without my needing to ask, and my stomach does a somersault. “The first officers on the scene say her body was still warm when they touched her, meaning she was murdered between three and four thirty this morning.”
“Any witnesses?” Howlen.
“Mrs. Potgieter, who lives across the street, took her dog out around four-thirty this morning when she saw a suspicious car drive away. She hasn’t been much help, but I…” Mosepi’s words travel off to the recesses of my mind as I stare at the photograph.
Carol-Anne Brewis seems small for her age but her determined blue eyes shine intelligently in the photo. Her demure smile looks hopeful for a future she will never have. From this photograph, I determine there’s a definite resemblance to what Gert van Rooyen liked in his supposed victims. Carol-Anne was the right age and type. The tell-tale inconsistency of how she disappeared from her home—from her own bed—is far too brazen an act for a lowly paedophile-slash-murderer.
I turn around to look at the white mammoth tent hiding the little girl from further humiliation. White canvas flap lazily in the breeze and I spot a crumpled figure on the ground. There lies Carol-Anne, dead. I can’t see much from my position, except for a bare foot turned at an awkward angle. It’s more than enough to make me feel sick.
I don’t want to go into the tent. I don’t want to see what terrible things that poor child had to endure during her last hours on earth. But if I don’t her killer might never be found.
So, I go.

Satanism Link in Multiple Pretoria Murders
2015-09-05 | 09:23 8 Comments
Pretoria—Police are staying tight-lipped on an investigation into two murders in Pretoria this past week, but inside sources have revealed these cases may be Satanic in nature. Speculation as to whether the cases are related have not been denied nor confirmed by a police spokesperson.
“The investigations are at a critical stage and giving out such information could be harmful to everyone involved,” said Lieutenant Colonel Moses Dlamini.
Valentine Sikelo, 28, was found brutally murdered yesterday afternoon when two teenagers stumbled into the field where her body was discarded, allegedly by the killer or an accomplice. Sikelo, a vibrant newlywed and young mother from Atteridgeville, was said to have disappeared early Friday morning on her way to work.
“I don’t understand how this happened. We live a block away from the taxi rank,” said Joseph Sikelo. “How does a full-grown woman get kidnapped on a busy street, less than a block away from her home?”
It is unclear how the second murder victim, Carol-Anne Brewis, 12, is connected to Valentine Sikelo. Sources say Brewis disappeared late last night from her bed in Danville and was found early this morning in the abandoned lot of the late notorious serial-paedophile, Gert van Rooyen.
“We have our best detectives on both cases,” said Dlamini.

You have to believe in god to believe in satan.

I don’t see the connection. The victims’ ages are too far apart, and they aren’t even of the same race. Don’t serial killers usually have a “type?”

@Lettie.Myburg – Agreed. It seems like the SAPS is reaching on this one.
