WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Rand High Court. Two nephews of ex-SA boxer Jimmy Abbott were sentenced to a life in prison for the murder of Afrikaner actor Kobus Kleynhans on July 16, 2005. They have been denied the right to appeal their sentence.

Kleynhans gained fame with his roles in “Vyfster” and “Ballade vir ‘n Enkeling”. He was stabbed to death in his house in Newlands. A total of 56 stab-wounds were counted in his body, according to forensic evidence.

Harry Abbott (30) and Jimmy Breedt (27) were also sentenced for robbery.
The former SA heavyweight boxer, who now is an Apostolic pastor, is their uncle.

Breedt’s mom again repeated the claim that all the evidence against them had been ‘planted and fabricated.’ Some of the unhappiest Abbotts family members were also rather insulting towards the photographers outside the courtroom today.

Much more lady-like was the murdered actor’s sister Mrs Jeannie Boshoff, below:

A psychiatrist told the court that Breedt was diagnosed as a psychopath.
It’s not known why, if this was the case, Breedt was sent to prison instead of to spending the rest of his life in a psychiatric institution.

Both nephews and their family members have persistently denied all guilt and said that all the evidence found on the scene, such as DNA and fingerprints, had been ‘planted’ and that the eye-witnesses who had allegedly seen them near the Kleynhans property had been lying.

State prosecutor Adv. Zaais van Zyl said the murder was ‘gruesome, without compassion and motivated by greed. They did not display one grain of remorse. The community must be protected against them.’

Breedt’s mom – who did not want to provide her name – burst into loud sobbing during the verdict and afterwards told her son: “God slaap nie”. (God does not sleep). She and other family members left the court in an angry mood.

A sad aftermath of this tragic murder was the provision in the actor’s will that his beloved dogs had to be euthanised after his death.

Mrs Boshoff had explained in an interview shortly after his death that the three dogs – a ridgeback, a Rottweiler and a Dachshund – were badly traumatised after the murder. The oldish dogs had been so emotionally attached to him that when police came to take away Kobus’s body, the SPCA had to be called in to remove the dogs first.

“I couldn’t find anyone willing to take the three oldish dogs and I was warned by an SPCA vet that, as a result of the trauma the animals had experienced, they would become aggressive and unable to adapt.”

“There was also the chance of them dying of hunger, because they ate nothing for the first five days after his death. I took a decision with the executor of the estate to have the dogs put down. Nobody could have cared for them like my brother…”

Jimmy Abbott, a gentle, blonde giant of a man, was a heavy-weight boxing champion who won his last fight in 1982. After trying his hand at painting for a while, he has since then become more known as an Apostolic Minister through the Roepersfontein Ministries International.
