WHAT THE HELL! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

I posted earlier that it had been a good week so far.....Boy was I WRONG............... Read what I've added below and lets see how you feel. HIGHLY PISSED OFF is a mild description of how I feel right now. Proves to me once again just how worthless life is in this country and just how easy it is to get away with MURDER. Because thats what this is not culpable homicide or any other stupid name they want to give it...... it is and will stay MURDER no matter what the findings.

To all the family and friends of Bernadine Kruger, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
To the taxi driver, may you burn in hell for what you have done.
To the police catch a fucking wake up ..... how the hell did you let this person leave the scene.


Taxi hoots, drives over schoolgirl23/02/2009 23:09 - (SA)

Pretoria - A Grade 11 pupil died on her way to Garsfontein High School in Pretoria on Monday morning after a taxi first incessantly hooted at her before hitting her scooter from behind and driving over her.
Bernadine Kruger, 16, died on impact.
She was on her way to school from the house of her father, Koos Kruger, 51, in Garsfontein when the accident happened at about 07:00.
Hugo Vermaak, who was driving along Atterbury Road, saw the accident happen between the Jacqueline and General Louis Botha Drive intersections.
'He hit her full-on'
"I was driving in a westerly direction. The traffic was heavy and we were moving very slowly.
"I saw the girl on her little scooter going in an easterly direction. She was in the left-hand lane.
"Then I saw the taxi speeding up behind her and hooting at her. Just as she wanted to change lanes, he hit her full-on.
"I saw her mouth open when he hit her. She fell and then he drove over her. It wasn't a pretty sight," Vermaak said.
After the accident the traffic came to a complete standstill. Many people jumped from their cars and ran to Bernadine to see if they could help her.
A last hug
Her family and best friends arrived on the scene shortly afterwards. Her school shoes were lying next to her body and her silver scooter lay in the road close by.
Her mother, Elsabé Homan, 44, from Montana in Pretoria, knelt for a moment at her daughter' s body on the tarred road.
"I had to see for myself. I gave her a hug for the last time. She was my best friend," she said.
Homan said her daughter was a soft-hearted person with hundreds of friends. She loved dancing and achieved top marks at school.
Bernadine' s brother, Danie, 18, stared at his sister' s partly covered body in shock.
"She was my legend, because she kept her life clean and pure," he said.
Crying loudly and sorrowfully, a group of her friends and her brother knelt a few metres from her body to pray.
The police immediately called a trauma counsellor to the scene to counsel Bernadine' s family and friends.
Sergeant Lynnette Erasmus, police spokesperson, said this was one of several trained counsellors from various churches in the Garsfontein police ward that were called out in circumstances like these.
Taxi driver not arrested yet
The Garsfontein High School support team, which includes a psychologist, also called two dominees to the school to assist with counselling.
The principal, Dirk van Zyl, said shortly after people started calling with the news that one of his pupils had been hit by a vehicle, he sent the two deputy heads and two teachers to the scene to find out who it was, because Bernadine was not carrying her schoolbag.
"It was a terrible shock to all of us. It's an unbelievable blow. She was a wonderful girl and achieved very good marks," Van Zyl said.
Erasmus said the police were investigating a charge of manslaughter.
The taxi driver had not been arrested yet because the police first have to complete their investigation into the accident, she added.
