Game ranger course 'general' is on trial for murder, child abuse, neglect and allegedly forced teen to eat his own faeces.

The then-national police commissioner claimed that the camp was being investigated for ‘right-wing militia training activities.’
Young Buys fought for his life in the intensive care unit for the past four weeks . A post-mortem examination and an inquest will be held into the cause of death. A week earlier, Echo Wild Game Ranger’s manager Alex de Koker (right) testified in the local court in front of the ‘clearly horrified’ magistrate Bruno van Eeden, that the injuries sustained by the young Buys, who was healthy and unblemished before he entered the costly training course, were 'caused by Raymond himself, for instance when he ran against the pump-house’.

Pictures submitted by the parents to the court however showed the steady deterioration of the Afrikaans youngster after his parents dropped him off at De Koker’s smallholding on 12 January 2011 until they rushed him to hospital ten weeks later. On the first photos before he started his training camp, Raymond was a healthy, cheerful and unblemished youth. His steady deterioration over the next two and a half months turned him into a walking skeleton, with numerous injuries.

His mother Wilna and her fiancee Gys Nezar told Sondag journalist Riaan Bam that her son ‘fought bravely for his life and that he now is with dear Jesus.’

The reason that I am suspicious of the sexuality of a man who is obsessed with gay men, is that, his life seems to based around gay men. I don't think it's a slur on the gay community, as much as it highlights the ignorance and brutality brought about by a religion that is promoted as 'compassionate'.

'Catholic mafia' hindered priest probe, special commission of inquiry into child sex abuse hears.
NSW police officers discussed whether a "Catholic mafia" existed within the force, deliberately hindering the investigation of pedophile priests, an inquiry has heard.

Giving evidence at the NSW Special Commission of Inquiry into child sex abuse, Detective Chief Inspector Peter Fox said he discussed these fears in 2002 with the current state Nationals MP, Troy Grant, then a serving officer.

Mr Grant "was highly critical of some senior police at Newcastle in what he perceived to be hindering his investigation" into alleged child abuse by clergy, Detective Fox said.
