Slain designer's car found Double killing 'inhuman' Shock Cape murders: 3 in court Actor, designer shot 'execution style'

Did newspapers go too far in printing pictures of the naked corpses of Brett Goldin and Richard Bloom, asks an online poll on News24?

The mere fact that this is the question News24 asks shows how desensitised to crime we South Africans have become.

We shouldn't be shocked at the photographs of the naked corpses we should have been shocked that these people were murdered in the first place.
