My first contribution was this little gem from News24 today.
(Okay, I will grant perhaps the use of "apparently" in the last case if it is used in the sense of "by all appearances," but I somehow doubt it.)Welkom – The engaged couple who have been arrested for the "satanic" murder in the Welkom cemetery, apparently regularly attended Bible studies and were crazy about the murderous TV drama, Dexter.
As a matter of fact, Chané van Heerden's mother said her daughter had asked for an extra Bible a few weeks ago. Her parents said she had always been a Christian.
But Van Heerden, who is also accused of murdering Michael van Eck, 24, apparently also practiced white magic related to the Wicca religion. She apparently told friends she didn't believe in God or Satan and was against Satanism.
People close to the couple denied links to Satanism and said both had a history of psychological problems and lived in a fantasy world.
The couple were crazy about the violent TV series Dexter and apparently even called each other "Dexter" and "Lumen" based on the violent characters in the programme. In the fifth series, the characters murder people together.
Maartens van der Merwe (Van Heerden's fiancé) had apparently spent time at a psychiatric hospital and had been known to hallucinate.
He apparently told a friend they cut each other.
Police were investigating a satanic link to the murder because of the way in which Van Eck's body had been dismembered as well as other items found in the house and on the property.
Neither Van Heerder nor Van der Merwe were apparently upset by being arrested. It was believed that the murder had been recorded on a cellphone video.
The couple indicated in court on Thursday that they would not apply for bail.
Edit: Um, that doesn't work quite so well in Tapatalk since character formatting is ignored.
