The Latest On Marli van Breda

Every now and again there’s a flurry of news regarding the remaining van Breda family members and then something else makes front page news which overrides it.

There have not yet been any arrests in the multiple family murder that rocked South Africa on the morning of 27th January 2015, but this last week news has it that Marli visited her school. According to the report, it’s part of her reintegration back into what will be her new normal life. She attends Somerset College, in Somerset West and is soon expected to return to continue with her education.

The headmistress of Somerset College is Meg Fargher. Speaking to News24, she said visits to the school have been recommended. I think it will be easier. Now that Marli’s classmates have seen her and how good she looks, it will make the transition back to school, when she does return, a whole lot easier.

While Marli is seeing her school friends, she has not been seeing he only surviving family member Henri. Debbie Wybrow is Marli’s legal representative, but like many others in the van Breda inner circle, she is keeping quiet about why the siblings have not yet met. We are not quite sure where Henri is or what his future holds for him. He doesn’t seem to be surrounded by supportive people or being assisted in finding his niche back into normal life. Perhaps he is and we just don’t know about it.

The investigation into this case must run its course. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, there is more to all this than meets the eye.  It’s great to be seeing Marli getting better. She still has retrograde amnesia and can remember nothing about the attack. It seems  she has not been able to help the police with their investigation. I have had a couple of comments come through on my blog in defence of Henri.  They were quite vociferous and underscored with Biblical references …here’s one of them.

I’m not sure what to make of it! I have no idea of who posted it. While it comes with an email address, it comes anonymously.

Whatever the cause, it is unspeakably tragic.

1 Corinthians 13;12

For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

It’s not about here or now.

God bless.

In His Grip,
