About Jacqueline Ivy Chatterton

Jacqueline Chatterton (1959 - 2005)

Brief overview:

Jacqueline (46), was stabbed to death in her home in Boston Smallholdings, KZN, on 31st October 2005. Judge Tshabalala described her murder as "the most savage and brutal killing one can think of".

He said an aggravating feature of the case was its racial connotation and that farm killings gave South Africa a bad name. "When I was in New Zealand I saw a television clip showing farm killings in the Richmond area. White people in New Zealand think that the people in South Africa are brutal people who kill farmers. "This is bad for the country and the economy. The farmers are there to produce the food we eat and rear cattle for meat... if they are killed this brings down the economy."
