Sounds like South Africa is moving into a more western type of society. The least than man deserves is life in prison. I don't think he will get the luxuries that prisoners get in this country. He will actually suffer for his crime. Luckily is sounds as though they consider him a murder. He knew what he was doing and he is to blame.
My prayers go out to Beatrice Harrowyn's family and friends.
Mr. Da Silva needs to repent for what he's done.
