Shrien, I am sure by now you know the whole world knows that you are alleged to being the mastermind behind the murder of your wife, Anni, on November 13 2010. Poor Anni. If only she knew when she thought she was coming to this beautiful country for honeymoon that she was going to be killed like a dog. Even dogs are not killed like that anymore. Or at least not where I come from.

You allegedly paid Zola Tongo R15 000, your driver at the time, to have your wife killed in Cape Town during your honeymoon. Tongo told the Western Cape High Court how you plotted the murder of your wife. He, however, was sentenced to 18 years’ imprisonment - a sentence the African National Congress Women’s League said was “lenient and undermines our nation’s commitment to ensure that all those who perpetuate violence against women are removed from our society” - after pleading guilty to the murder of your wife, claiming that you had recruited him to find people to assist with a staged hijacking of Anni. Does this make you sick to your head?

You have since tried every stupid trick in the book to have the chance of your being extradited to South African thwarted. You even went out of your way to hire Publicist Max Clifford to speak on your behalf, an act which I believe raised more questions about your action, or lack thereof. Yes, you may have denied killing Anni but that is still not enough. I am surprised that the man of your alleged state of mind could go to such extend. Your state of mind is apparently not in a good space such that you need to be separated from the rest of us. That includes your family.

How do you live and feel knowing/hearing that your wife died the way she did? Do you feel anything at all? And if you do, would you not want to see justice being done irrespective of the state of your health? I mean the world over wants needs you to tell us exactly what you know, if you know anything at all. And if you know nothing, would you not want to take a stand before the world and swear before God and tell nothing but the truth that you don’t know a shit about what actually happened to your dear wife and or how it happened? We need you in the court room standing and denying that. Not your/through publicist! We all need some closure. Annie’s parents do need closure, and you owe them that much. If your parents do not need that closure of their now late daughter-in-laugh, blame them not us.
