A man named Grayson Beare appeared in the Durban Magistrate's Court yesterday in South Africa facing charges of murdering Halima Hoosen-Preston and critically injuring her husband, Shaun, and their 14-year-old son.
The attack is alleged to have been motivated by the family's support for Palestine.
According to reports, Beare allegedly invaded the Hoosen-Preston home in the early hours of Sunday morning and carried out a fatal knife attack. A viral video has since emerged in which Beare discusses his reasons for the attack. When asked why he allegedly killed an innocent person, he replied, "She is not totally innocent," claiming that Hoosen-Preston "and her family thought it was entertaining that my cousins were killed in Israel."
The case against Beare has been adjourned to June 11 for a mental assessment and bail consideration.
