So what do we think? Accidental death? Self defence?

Having been to Joburg myself, I was aware that a lot of people were on the edge - keeping guns under their pillows etc.

Where did the other thread go?! :confused:

Cosimo · 14 Feb 2013 at 16:53

The last thread got deleted.

Too much bad taste posting again. I guess that this will go the same way if it continues.

It was peppered with silly jokes, after all. No wonder the mods moved it.

So, was it a mistake, or is it not known yet?

Robbo · 14 Feb 2013 at 16:57

It's looking very much like murder.

-westy- · 14 Feb 2013 at 16:59

Oh, didn't see the other thread! If we can keep the silly jokes out of this one, that'd be good

Why on earth would I do that?

I have a lot of friends here now

Yaayuh! · 14 Feb 2013 at 17:12

Here we go again

Edrof · 14 Feb 2013 at 17:12

SO, back on topic, what were the motives for murder? (Sorry, I haven't read the news.)

Indeed.

I guess all we can do is wait for evidence!

A drunken argument, a moment of madness, reports of disturbance earlier. We'll have to wait for more to come out.

UN agenda to ban guns worldwide, hired hitmen killed her and framed him.

OSCAR IS INNOCENT.

So i take it from the deleted posts we have to be 100% serious on this forum now? And no one is allowed to post something that disagrees with mods opinions on a situation?

Just what i like to see on a public forum.

I happen to find jokes about horse meat very distasteful because i run 3 horse sanctuaries in sweden, can we ban everyone that makes horse jokes too?

Raymond Lin · 14 Feb 2013 at 17:24

Pointless speculating.

Will wait until trial finishes before forming any sort of opinions.

It's not a democracy here, you only just know that?
