The Parow Regional Court handed down a 25-year sentence to Cevyn Kemp after he pleaded guilty to the killings of three family members, reports Cape town Etc .
In a case that has shocked the Bishop Lavis community, Kemp's actions stemmed from a dispute over his brother's poor academic performance that escalated into a fatal escalation of domestic violence.
On 14 December 2022, a sequence of events unfolded at 18 Martin Lane, where Kemp confronted his younger brother, Peter, about his poor academic performance.
Following a heated argument, during which Peter reportedly attacked Kemp, he grabbed a brick that was serving as a door stop and struck Peter multiple times on the head, ultimately causing his death due to severe blunt force trauma.
The incident did not end there. Shortly after, Kemps mother, Elmoline Kemp, returned home from work in search of her son. Upon discovering his lifeless body, a panicked Kemp reacted violently, again wielding the same brick against his mother. Despite her pleas, he assaulted her as well, resulting in her death.
