Familicide: The Griekwastad Murders

On the 6th of April 2012, 15-year-old Don Steenkamp pulled up in front of the Griekwastad Police Station. He rushed inside, fell on his knees and said, “You must come. They’ve been shot. They’re all dead.”  Three members of the Steenkamp family had been brutally murdered in what was first believed to be a farm murder.
