A Horrific Story Has Come Out of South Africa. Former Rugby Player Joseph Ntshongwana Has Arrested For Killing Three People With an Axe? Did the South African Rugby Player Seek Revenge For the Rape of his Daughter?
Former South African rugby player Joseph Ntshongwana has been arrested after allegedly killing three men with an axe.
The South Africa rugby axe murder suspect allegedly killed two men and decapitated another. Early reports suggest that the former rugby player sought revenge after his young daughter was gang-raped and infected with HIV.
The South Africa rugby player has been charged with three counts of murder and one count of attempted murder.
While it's been widely reported that the axe murder was motivated by the gang-rape of a young girl, a recent report in an Australian newspaper suggests the attack had nothing to do with rape.
The News Herald quotes police spokesman Vincent Mdunge who said:
"Rape has been ruled out," Mdunge said.
Mdunge added:
But Mdunge said police believed the suspect had been motivated by an "evil nature", not the rape of his child.
"The motive is evil-oriented," he said.
Who is the South African Rugby Player Who Has Been Accused of the Axe Murder?
Police did not initially release the name of the retired rugby player. What is known is that the player is 34 years old who played for the Blue Bulls in Pretoria.
The BBC has released the name of the South Africa axe murder suspect. Joseph Ntshongwana appeared in a Durban court in connection with the killings.

Not so sure about the evil-oriented - think it was a bit too much Durban poison and head butt while playing rugby that made his mind "evil"

It was revealed this morning that the man has no daughter. It appears that it is a case of simply "being nuts". He had us in South Africa fooled - we were on his side for a while!

If the story of the man's daughter being raped/infected with HIV is true then I admire his retribution...Which decent, honest father would stand by and let his girl be subject to this. I wish there were more people like this - he should be freed not made an example of!!!

You guys are missing the real story here...this guy went on a killing spree after learning that his daughter was raped...he did not necessarily killed the people that raped his daughter, but went on a rampage killing anything with a di*ck on his path...to me, thats a psycho and not fit to live in the society...if he killed the right people, then he would have my support!
