Van der Westhuizen was sentenced to 24 years in prison in 2011 for the murder of his three children in 2006.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">It was Van der Westhuizen\u2019s third attempt at freedom after serving 13 years in prison. The Parole Board had found that Van der Westhuizen had accepted responsibility for his crimes and had participated in therapeutic and other rehabilitation intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><strong>READ |&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news24.com\/news24\/community-newspaper\/tygerburger\/organisation-slams-parole-decision-for-ex-cop-who-killed-his-three-children-in-brackenfell-20240626-3\" target=\"_blank\">Organisation slams parole decision for ex-cop who killed his three children in Brackenfell<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">However, new Minister of Correctional Services Pieter Groenewald is not convinced Van der Westhuizen would not commit a similar crime if released and, on his instruction, the department studied the report of the parole board recommending the review, Netwerk24 reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">He told Netwerk24 that this was the first ministerial inquiry he has dealt with since coming to office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tragedy\">Tragedy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">The tragic incident took place in Brackenfell on 28 July 2011, when Van der Westhuizen shot 16-year-old Bianca, who was disabled, 5-year-old Marius and 21-month-old Antoinette in their beds with his service pistol. Earlier he had confronted Charlotte, also a police officer, demanding of her to choose between her job and her family. Charlotte had returned home from work later than usual that evening having picked one of the children up from cr\u00e8che.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">After shooting the children in front of her he locked her up in another room of the house before leaving. Charlotte later broke her silence about years of emotional abuse she had suffered at his hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Fearing his release may set a dangerous precedent, civic organisation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news24.com\/news24\/community-newspaper\/tygerburger\/organisation-slams-parole-decision-for-ex-cop-who-killed-his-three-children-in-brackenfell-20240626-3\" target=\"_blank\">Action Society stated Van der Westhuizen should remain behind bars<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\u201cFathers and police officers should be men of honour, duty and courage,\u201d said the head of the organisation\u2019 action centre, Kaylynn Palm. \u201cThey should keep their families and communities safe instead of attacking them, like the very people they vow to protect them from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\u201cHe is a child murderer and should remain behind bars. Thirteen years for the death of three innocent children and a lifetime of trauma for a mother is insulting; what he did warrants life in prison. It is very concerning that crimes against children are still not taken as seriously as they should, especially given that such crimes have reached unprecedented levels in recent times.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The parole of convicted child murderer and former policeman Marius van der Westhuizen was suspended pending a review by members of the
