Holy cr*p - what is Botha up to. Has he been reading these pages? Are we now going to hear that this behaviour can happen when the culprit has some sort of psychological problem.
The problem is that HvB has not been diagnosed with any psychological symptoms, but it has been reported that he has been seeing a Psychologist since the murders. One would have thought that this Psychologist would have given evidence.
However, my prediction is that it is another Psychologist whom Botha knows will give him the answers he needs.
Did Botha give you the impression that HvB has already been interviewed by this Psychologist and they are just waiting for her answers now?
In court, HvB said he couldn’t bring himself to help his family.
“If I had been thinking clearly I probably would have done these things. If I hadn’t been so scared.”
There are three possible responses to trauma - Fight, Flee or Freeze.
My prediction is that the Psychologist will talk about the Freeze response such as HvB was frozen in fear to explain HvB's inaction.
