Visiting his son in Pretoria, the Flemish trucker was gunned down by a feral black gang -- which also tortured the family for 90 horrifying minutes...
Sept 10 2008 -- BRUSSELS. The Belgian news media has reported prominently about the gruesome murder of Belgian trucker Chris Theunis, 44 in Equestria, South Africa this week.Theunis had just arrived in Pretoria from his home in Limburg province in Belgium two days earlier to celebrate his son's 18th birthday. http://groups.msn.com/crimebustersofsouthafrica
His son, David, pleaded with the three armed men who'd crashed their way into his home and gunned down his unarmed father to let him attend to his wounds - but they refused and the Belgian visitor slowly bled to death in front of his son.
The extreme cruelty of this murder attack has made headlines in the Dutch-language regions of Europe. They in fact report horrid details which were totally omitted by the SA news media: namely that while David was still desperately trying to help his dad, the youthful attackers were actually demonically kicking and beating the pleading youth -- and then tied him up with his two male friends and gagged them. Their female friend was then gang-raped and sexually-humiliated in other ways right in front of the youths, her schoolfriends.
Their torture at the hands of this feral black gang lasted for one and a half hours. The abused youths all were covered in blood after their ordeal, the Belgian news media reports -- and the girl was left deeply traumatised and in urgent need of antiretroviral treatment to prevent the transfer of the deadly AIDS-virus from her rapists. More than 6,1-m South African blacks are infected with the HIV-virus.Their attackers then fled on foot after they'd failed to start the family car. Their loot was meagre and robbery could not have been the only motive for this vicious attack against this European family: just a laptop, some alcohol and cigarettes were 'robbed'. All the other valuables in the house were left untouched.
The Belgian news media also interviewed the murdered man's heart-broken father, Cyriel Theunis (81), who was a mineworker in the coal-mining region of Limburg in Belgium. He'd lost his wife earlier this year and said that as a mineworker, he'd had a hard life and now he's also lost his wife and his only child in the same year.'
A relative of David's , who does not want to be named, also immediately hired a SA private investigator, Mr Mike Bolhuis, to investigate the case after police forensic experts had left behind a burnt-out cigarette smoked by one attacker, as well as an empty cartridge shell on the scene of these horrendous events. She was deeply shocked about this 'oversight' and questioned whether the case would ever be investigated properly if police had left behind such important evidence.
The small team at the local police-station in this Pretoria region were indeed very overburdened that night: there had been four other attacks on families that same night. She's also upset because the police refuse to send the murdered man's body back to Belgium 'until the investigation has been completed.'
We can't beat the criminal gangs any more: detective Bolhuis
Mr Bolhuis -- famous for his outstanding detective skills in SA -- told the Flemish newspaper Gazet van Antwerpen:
- "It's unbelievable how the police could have made such errors here. Things are getting out of hand in South Africa. We can't beat the criminal gangs any more. As a private detective firm we try to assist the police wherever we can, because they can't do all the work by themselves. We provided all the evidence we gathered to the police.
"The problem is that the forensic examinations can last between four to ten years,' he added...
