Rhodes Park in Johannesburg South Africa is a beautiful place to visit and it seems very peaceful.
However on Saturday 17 October 2015 one of the most horrific crimes were committed here.
Two young African couples visited the park and were walking around when they were attacked by a gang of 12 African thugs.
They rapped the two women and murdered the two husbands. After witnessing the rape of their wives, they were stripped naked, tied up and thrown into the lake where they drowned.
Three thugs were caught and prosecuted. Nine got away.
I believe that this crime would never have happened if the South African Police did not take so lightly the many muggings that had taken place in this park for the past many years. These criminals grew in boldness as they got away with crimes they committed.
