Six infamous black gang-members of the '666-gang' (a.k.a. 'Born To Kill gang") admit to hacking to death Gordon and Lorraine Adam, founders of the Bethulie Christian Fellowship, while asleep in their Bethulie home: -- ========================= MURDERED FOR THEIR FAITH (AFRIKAANS news report VIDEO: "VERMOOR VIR HULLE GELOOF" (Volksblad daily newspaper)) -- COPY AND PASTE VIDEO LINK IN YOUR BROWSER TO WATCH THIS VIDEO INTERVIEW WITH MEMBERS OF THE BORN TO KILL GANG outside Bethulie magistrate's court: -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDQyQzgAa38&feature=player_embedded ========================== Feb 11 2014 It is widely believed amongst the local Christian community and crime-experts (see video report interviews with gang members of the Born to Kill gang -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDQyQzgAa38&feature=player_embedded ) that the black killers who were sentenced to 19 years in prison on February 11 2014 in the Free State High Court, had murdered the deeply-religious Afrikaner couple in revenge: they had snuck into the sleeping couple's home and hacked them to death without stealing anything from the Adam home. They then fled in the couple's bakkie. There had been death-threats against the Christian couple because the local gang running the prison objected to Gordon Adam visiting the jail each Thursday-afternoon for pastoral duties and helping several gang-members turn away from a life of crime. However none of this evidence was introduced at the trial: the men pleaded guilty and were rapidly sentenced. Gordon and Lorraine Adam, founders of the Bethulie Christian Fellowship, had received threats from the local gang leaders who run local prison - they allegedly objected to Gordon visiting the local jail each Thursday-afternoon to perform pastoral duties and try to turn the inmates away from crime. Loraine was a well-known local English teacher, reported Volksblad Afrikaans daily at the time of their murder. On February 11 2014, the six arrested gang members pleaded guilty in the Free State High Court to hacking the couple to death in their sleep, it was announced by a spokesman of the National Prosecuting Authority. The men were rapidly sentenced to 10 years each for "housebreaking with aggravating circumstances and 19 years each for murder", said spokesman Phaladi Shuping. The maximum sentence they will have to serve for their cowardly act was no more than 19 years as the sentences always run concurrently in South Africa. Tshepo Ramahlama, 19, Sphiwe Sakman, 19, Paseka Snyman, 18 and three minors aged between 15 and 17 years were arrested last year February shortly after the murder. “The accused broke down the kitchen door of the couple’s house to gain entry. They found them sleeping in their bedroom where they all hacked them with pangas and stabbed them with knives ,” Mncube said. He added that the gang had stolen the couple 's bakkie to get away with and 'had later sold it. ' There was no indication that anything else of value was stolen during the frantic murder, carried out by each gang member hacking the couple to death with pangas and knives.

Lorraine het vermoedelik ná ’n enkele hou met ’n panga oor die kop gesterf.Die egpaar se Toyota-bakkie, vuurwapens (’n .22-rewolwer en ’n pistool) en Lorraine se selfoon asook al hul sleutels is geroof. ’n Skootrekenaar en Lorraine se handsak is egter onaangeraak in die sitkamer agtergelaat.“Ek glo die hele aanval was baie fyn beplan en professioneel uitgevoer. Ek dink nie my ouers het eens besef wat gebeur nie.”Ashley het ’n dekade gelede sy pa se boerdery in die distrik oorgeneem toe hy afgetree het. Hy vertel hy wou saterdagoggend vroeg daar aangaan, maar hy moes werk op Aliwal-Noord gaan doen. Hy het hulle vergeefs probeer bel toe hy vroeër teruggekeer het.Hy het egter onraad vermoed toe hy by hul huis aankom. Die dubbelverdiepinghuis met die pragtuin is aan die buitewyke van die dorp op ’n rantjie geleë. Die gevangenis is sowat 200m daarvandaan.“Ek kon dadelik sien daar is ingebreek toe ek by die agterdeur kom. Die slot was uitgebreek en die veiligheidshek gebreek en oopgebuig. Die bakkie was ook nie in die motorhuis nie.”Hy het eers die polisiekantoor gebel waar ’n ou skoolvriend die telefoon geantwoord het.“Ek het gevra of my ma-hulle dalk daar is, want hier is ingebreek en die bakkie is weg.”Ashley het kort daarna op sy ouers se bebloede lyke afgekom.“Toe ek klaar die polisie gebel het en seker was daar is niemand meer in die huis nie, het ek langs hulle in die kamer op die grond gaan sit en huil.”Ashley sê egter hy het vrede in sy hart gekry.“Die vrede wat ek binne my het, laat my weet daar ís ’n lewende Here.”Piet Smith, ’n familievriend, vertel hy was saam met Gordon en Ashley stigterlede van die Bethulie Family Fellowship.“Gordon het elke Donderdagmiddag by die plaaslike tronk saam met die gevangenes gaan Bybelstudie doen en gereeld die ouetehuis bedien.”Hy sê Gordon was met ’n liefde vir grond en die veld ’n man van die aarde.Lorraine het diep spore in jong mense se lewe as Engels-onderwyser aan die Hoërskool Pellissier op die dorp getrap. Sy was later ook mede-stigter en skoolhoof van die private Bethulie Christian School op die dorp.Konst. Maselela Langa, polisiewoordvoerder, het gisteraand teen druktyd gesê niemand is nog in verband met die moorde in hegtenis geneem nie.Die egpaar word ook oorleef deur ’n dogter, Celeste Brown, in die Oos-Kaap en sewe kleinkinders.• Die moord op die Adam-egpaar kom ná die bylmoord op die egpaar Johan (71) en Cecile (72) Fourie van die distrik Trompsburg in September verlede jaar en die egpaar Ernest (75) en Annetjie van Rooyen (74) van die distrik Parys in Januarie vanjaar. --- Dit is ook die vyfde dubbele moord sedert 2010 in die Vrystaat, wat die egpaar Koos van Zyl (63) en sy vrou, Retha (66), van Senekal (Januarie 2010) asook Attie (41) en Wilna Potgieter (36) en hul tweejarige dogter, Wilmientjie, van Lindley (Desember 2010) insluit. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=603371966356019&set=a.178568022169751.48293.116298045063416&type=1&theater
