"Murdered" - 'The single word in red that appears on the cross on Brent Hiscock's grave in Pretoria East cemetery says it all. Brent's mother, Barbara, says she chose this simple epitaph to express her heartache. "I am heartbroken and angry and I want everyone to know that my child was murdered.

I'd like someone to do a survey of all the solved and unsolved murders since 1994.'
