British couple was kidnapped, murdered and fed to crocodiles while searching a nature reserve in South Africa for rare seeds, a court heard Tuesday.

Horticulturist Rod Saunders, 74, and his wife, microbiologist Dr. Rachel Saunders, 63, were camping in the remote Ngoye Forest Reserve when they disappeared in February 2018, the Daily Mail reported.

The couple was last heard from on Feb. 8, when they told an employee about their plans to camp in the reserve 30 miles north of Durban.

Police now say that Sayefundeen Aslam Del Vecchio, his wife, Bibi Fatima Patel, and their tenant Mussa Ahmad Jackson kidnapped, robbed and murdered the couple on the night of Feb. 10, the same day they were reported missing.

Among the evidence presented in Durban High Court this week were text messages from Del Vecchio to Patel and Jackson stating that there was an elderly couple nearby to “target” for a “hunt.” ***

You try and try to tell liberals that not all cultures are equal.
It takes feeding them to crocodiles alive before they understand what you mean.

Maybe they were sort of inviting a bad result with their unrealistic expectations, but they didn’t “deserve” it - no one deserves to be killed in cold blood. Even the worst miscreant deserves fair judgment.

However, consider if you will all the “republicans” and “libertarians” who fanatically enjoined us all to go out and try to get arrested during the pandemic lockdown, pretending that no danger to our freedoms, health, or personal safety existed. Go to the movies. Go to the store. Go to the gym. Stand up for your rights. Blah, blah, blah.

Um, yes, all those risks were real and many paid the price.

“I’m going shopping at the mall and I’m not going to wear a mask and I’m not vaccinated and just you try to stop me!!!”

What’s the difference between that and a couple of old science folks wanting to pretend they were safe in an area of great risk because - SURELY - everyone who saw them would realize they were just elderly scientists and wish them well and leave them be?

RIP Aslam and Bibi.

It was the murderers who flew the Islamist flag.
