    Just give me a break with this Gyal yah see. No amount of mercy can help her for doing such a gruesome act in a small child like that and if it’s not her then who ever she covering up for she need to speak cause she was once someone baby girl and I am sure she was well protected and loved.if she is indeed involved she deserve to die just as horrible and those pathologist need Jesus

      It’s sad that they are taking our kindness for weakness. Sad that because we decide to let the law work instead of acting like persons in other countries that they think we are to be fooled. I cannot believe this news. What did Chantel do to deserve the constant injustice ans disrespect?

      I believe I heard her parents said she told the police she killed cnantel and put her in the cistern. She took them to her body I think. But no surprise here Mel. This has been in the news from the time of the crime

    I am wondering…… Has A THOROUGH PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT been Carried out on THIS Young Lady who kidnapped/abducted Chantel Crump….. and days later lead the Police to the place where Chantel Crump’s dead body was found?

    If NOT, WHY NOT??? I have heard nothing about A Psychological Assessment to date …. This act is WAY PAST NORMAL BEHAVIOR….. I am not bringing THIS UP as A Scapegoat …. I am Just wondering…… Also were ALL Family members interviewed EXTENSIVELY?

    Just asking to what extent are such ISSUES expected to become Part and Parcel of Investigations when occurrences of THIS macabre nature take place …….

      That’s actually a very valid point.

      Has a thorough psychological assessment been done on the young lady who reportedly abducted Chantel Crump and later led police to her body?

      This entire situation is far from normal behavior — and if it hasn’t been done yet, the question is, why not?

      I’m not bringing it up to excuse anything or shift the focus, but we have to ask the hard questions.

      Also — were all family members interviewed extensively? Because in a case like this, everyone close to the situation should be properly questioned.

      I truly hope the authorities are doing the right things behind the scenes, because this case is too serious to be treated lightly.

      No stone should be left unturned.

      That’s a really good question, and honestly, I’ve been wondering the same thing.

      Given how serious and disturbing this case is, a psychological assessment should have been one of the first steps taken especially considering the nature of what happened and how it unfolded.

      You’re not wrong to bring it up, and I don’t take it as an excuse or scapegoat either — it’s a fair and necessary point.

      And yes, I agree all family members should have been interviewed thoroughly. Something like this should be handled with full depth, not just on the surface.

      I really hope, behind the scenes, those things are being done properly because justice without a full investigation isn’t justice at all

    These comments are wild. I don’t think this media house meant to give any prominence to this little retch. I was hoping I would see the lady, but I did not. I find the story interesting because we have not heard anything about Devil Angela since she entered prison. This is good reporting. ABS won’t do that for sure. It is good that we understood what is going on with this criminal while in prison. The audacity of asking for special meals. She wants KFC and carver! She wanted more time off!! This is madness. Angela is a con girl and she can use her little dirty sticks to lure even pennyfeather. If she wants to commit suicide, let her. Cannot treat a criminal like a celebrity

    The more i read this story and the narratives behind it the more sad i become. This girl have guts to ask for special food and more sunlight. She should be grateful she isnt dead.
