Occasionally, justice is swift, but for the most part, it’s a slow-moving process.

In the case of murder accused Gerhard Jansen van Vuuren, the process all but stalled after he fled to Brazil before he could face trial for the murder of his ex-girlfriend, 25-year-old Andrea Venter.

If the story sounds familiar, that might be because Carte Blanche recently covered how Jansen van Vuuren, one of South Africa’s most wanted fugitives, was finally brought back home to stand trial.

Now TimesLIVE has compiled a timeline of how this case developed, with Janse van Vuuren’s trial continuing today.

It may have taken far longer than those grieving would have hoped, but hopefully justice can finally be served:
