Skokkend: twee waremisdaadboeke

South Africa is notorious for the high incidence of women murdered in the country – and yet, amongst all the terrible news stories, there are still cases that shake people to their core. Julian Jansen’s book about the shocking murder of Deveney Nel and Anena Burger’s book about the case of Reverend Liezel de Jager, tell two of these stories in fine detail. Journalist Carryn-Ann Nel, who is well acquainted with both cases, talks to the authors about aspects of the murders and the subsequent court cases that gripped the nation, and about how various systems fail both the public and the victims.
