A famous former rugby player has been arrested in South Africa after allegedly butchering at least three people to death with an axe.
A newspaper claimed the unnamed 34-year-old sportsman had launched a murderous rampage in revenge after his daughter was gang-raped and infected with HIV.
Afrikaans daily Beeld reported that one of the star's alleged victims had been decapitated during a string of brutal attacks which happened last week near Durban in South Africa's eastern KwaZulu-Natal province.
It is believed the man's head was found at least a mile away from his body in a separate suburb of the Indian Ocean city.
Police spokesman Vincent Mdunge told South Africa's Sowetan newspaper the sportsman was being held in custody after being arrested yesterday.
The star is due to appear in court tomorrow to face three charges of murder and one of attempted murder in relation to a fourth alleged victim named Khangelani Mdluli, who managed to escape.
Lieutenant Colonel Mdunge said: 'When they pounced on him they found an axe, which we believe is the murder weapon, clothes with blood stains and a hired car that we suspect he could have used during the alleged attacks.

Do note that nobody in the SA government seems to care much about prosecuting the gang rape.
Wish I was on the jury. Sounds justified to me.
Not guilty.
not guilty
Great solution......I so like a happy ending.
Not Guilty.
Hope he is found innocent if he only killed rapists.
Sounds like there is no one left to prosecute.
Not Guilty, and awarded large civil awards for being unnecessarily inconvenienced by the police.
Temporary Insanity
Not guilty
“Police spokesman Anton Booysen said one of them had been almost fully-decapitated. He added: ‘His head was hanging by nothing more than a nerve.”
That the problem these days, people dont properly finish what they start.
As a father of four lovely women and one ugly ass Marine that looks just like his old man, I say “not guilty”.
Charge him with littering for the head he left lying around, make him pay a fine and send him on his way.
I cannot say that I would not do the same thing in a similar situation................
so why did they arrest him?
Two gang rapes of 11 year olds in the news here in the U.S. in the last 3 weeks. One was in Texas and the CBS news report said residents (black) of the area were blaming the victim (Hispanic) because she was wearing make up and dressing provocatively. ???
Other gang rape in the U.S. was in California and was part of a gang (black) initiation. One of the rapists was 19 and others were under 18. Girl age 11.
What’s the problem?
Sound like the guy had a legitimate axe to grind and successfully wielded it, in defense of his daughter.
“The alleged victim said he ran straight home after the incident, which had left him traumatised. He added: ‘The incident has really affected me. ‘I don’t feel at ease when I am working night shift and have to walk home. I am scared and I don’t feel safe.”
This is how they end the story, the accused rapist portraying himself as the victim.
