The van Breda bunch was just your average South African family before tragedy struck in 2015. Henri and Marli were the only two family members to survive a horrific home invasion, leaving the father, mother and brother dead. The 16-year-old girl had no memory of the attack, whereas 22-year-old Henri described a man wearing gloves and a balaclava rampaging the house.

In 2018 BBC reported that Henri van Breda was being put on the stand for the murder of his family members after evidence failed to prove an invasion. The remaining son of the van Breda family was later found guilty of all counts of murder.

The M-Net true-crime series Strangers You Know revisited this case in the latest episode and Saffas were reminded of the heartless act of violence. Twitter flooded with the voices of those who caught the episode, as their hearts went out to Marli.
