This past week in Cape Town, South Africa Phoenix Racing
Cloud Theron who is 19 stood in the Simon’s Town Magistrate’s Court with her
boyfriend Kyle Maspero, 18, and Godfrey Scheepers, 20. They stood there accused
of killing Theron’s mother Rosemary Theron who was 39. Rosemary Theron went
missing back in March and was found early this week in a shallow grave in
Strandfontein due to Scheepers making a confession to the police. The previous
week in court they heard how Phoenix embraced her mother while Maspero snuck of
from behind and strangled Rosemary to death. Maspero who waited calmly and
Theron who stood trembling and crying at the dock did not apply for bail on
Thursday due to wanting this to be as speedy as possible. The State contends
that the two carried out the murder while under drug influence.
During all of this the father of Theron speaks out saying he
doesn’t know how to come to terms that his daughter the one he adored and thought was the sweetest could do such a
horrific act. She grew up being a good student volunteering at NGOs even with
coming from a broken home. He did suspect that Theron and her boyfriend had
gotten mixed up with drugs.
This is a greater issue then many would like to point out
for the fact that here in the U.S they are trying to make some states legal for
marijuana. With marijuana being a gateway drug to worse drugs this could easily
happen here. No mother deserved to disappear and die due to her daughter and
boyfriend. They are still waiting for the next court date to figure out the
final verdict of this travesty.
