The murder weapon: Two-foot, 82lb rock used to smash South African student to death as she was held down after being kidnapped and gang-raped is shown to court

A massive 82lb rock used to smash in the skull of a university student after she was kidnapped and brutally gang-raped has been presented in court. The two-foot by one-foot by one-foot boulder had been used to cover a borehole and was slammed down on Hannah Cornelius's head twice as she was held down, a court was told.

The fatal blow was delivered after at least three men had taken turns to rape the gifted scholar.

Hannah, 21, would almost certainly have died instantly according to experts. However, to make sure, one of her killers also plunged a knife into her neck.

Vernon Witbooi, 33, Geraldo Parsons, 27, Nashville Julius, 29, and Eben Van Nieberk, 28, face charges including murder, kidnap, robbery and rape.

The chilling exhibit was lifted with a struggle onto a desk before the judge at the Western High Court in Cape Town, South Africa, by two strong security guards.

This is a terrible sad story. What on earth were they thinking? What kind of evil lurks in these idiots.

as long as people remain unpunished or seemingly unpunished this will continue..
it is very very sad.

I've read about this, it's horrendous what these men did. I hope they never l leave prison.
