    If you don’t know the name Fanie du Preez you’re going to want to get right up to speed HERE, the 39-year-old father standing accused of murdering his wife Thea and their two children.

    That weapon of choice was a gun – the 17-year-old daughter shot six times in the head, his son three and his wife twice. TimesLive with today’s court developments:

    Nigerian and Lebanese druglords forced Fanie du Preez to kill his wife and two teenage children when he refused to deliver drugs for them, the Vanderbijlpark Magistrate’s Court heard [today]…

    The investigating officer’s affidavit was read out in court, and in it, the officer says that du Preez told him the druglords held him at gunpoint, gave him a gun and forced him to kill his family.

    Du Preez told the officer that his daughter Carlia tried to stop him and pleaded “Nee, Pappa, nee” (No, daddy, no), and that’s why she was shot through her hand.

    She was awake when he killed her…

    When the officer later asked him why he did not go to the police when he was threatened by “druglords”, du Preez said he did not trust the police.

    According to the investigating officer, Du Preez showed no emotion or remorse for his murdered family during the investigation.

    This picture below is from his first appearance in court.

    Du Preez asked for bail so that he may mourn the loss of his family at home, although Magistrate Buks du Plessis wasn’t having it. News24 with this:

    “How can you be trusted when out on bail if you didn’t play open cards from the beginning?” du Plessis told Du Preez

    “It is not in the interest of justice that you be out on bail and therefore your bail has been denied.”

    It appears the state may have found their motive too:

    The State told the court during the bail application that the couple had marital problems and that Thea was planning to divorce him…

    Du Preez initially claimed the murders were committed by robbers.

    Du Plessis lambasted Du Preez for apparently changing his version of events.

    “One would have expected that when you find yourself in circumstances where you have to eliminate your own blood family, you would have told police the entire version at the first chance.

    “You didn’t do that. The fact that you do not trust police is not applicable.

    “First you said it was robbers. When you went back to house it was Nigerians. Next day it was Lebanese all of a sudden.”

    Your days as a free man look numbered Fanie.
