Ep. 013 | The Horrific Attack of Alison Botha
Description
In 1994, 27-year-old Alison Botha was kidnapped outside of her home in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. She was then driven out to a remote location where she was raped, strangled, stabbed over 30 times, and disemboweled by two men: Thuens Krueger and Frans Du Toit. Her throat was cut so deeply she was almost decapitated, and yet, Alison SURVIVED.
In July of 2023, just a year before recording this episode, Alison's attackers were given parole and now live freely amongst society in South Africa. But are they really rehabilitated? F*****g of course not, but we usually ask a question at the end of the summary. Still, this is A Trial by Podcast, so we'll let you be the judge (you will definitely agree with us).
