There are stories that seem like something out of a horror movie, but that find their place in history because of the unbreakable strength of the human spirit. HERE<\/a> you can listen to the podcast.<\/p>\n

In the most recent episode of “Cr\u00edmenes del M\u00e1s All\u00e1,” entitled “Alison Botha and the Miracle of Discombi,” renowned researcher and storyteller Roberto Belmont immerses us in one of the most brutal yet hopeful chronicles of modern criminology: the case of Alison Botha.<\/p>\n

The night of December 18, 1994, in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, forever changed the life of Alison, a 27-year-old woman who was just returning home from shopping.<\/p>\n

Expertly hosted by Roberto Belmont, whose career has been characterized by a deep respect for the victims and a meticulous analysis of the facts, the podcast takes us to the back seat of Alison’s car, where two men, Frans du Toit and Theuns Kruger, ambushed her to begin a journey into horror.<\/p>\n

The destination was Discombi, a desolate area where civilization is lost among the dry terrain and total darkness.<\/p>\n

There, after being the victim of systematic sexual violence, Alison was attacked with a viciousness that defies explanation.<\/p>\n

The limit of human endurance<\/h2>\n

Belmont narrates with chilling accuracy the moment of the final attack.<\/p>\n

The assailants, seeing that Alison was still breathing after 15 stab wounds to the abdomen, decided to end her life in the most atrocious way: they tried to decapitate her.<\/p>\n

“The attackers, convinced they had silenced her forever, abandoned her in the underbrush with her neck barely attached by a thin thread of skin and spine,” Belmont recounts.<\/p>\n

However, what happened next is what Belmont defines as an “animal instinct for survival”.<\/p>\n

In an act that doctors still consider a miracle, Alison regained consciousness and, far from giving up, made surgical decisions about her own body:<\/p>\n

With one hand: She held her own head, clinging to her hair so that the weight would not eventually dislodge it and she could breathe through the exposed windpipe.<\/p>\n

With the other hand: He picked up his own intestines that had protruded through the wounds in his abdomen and pushed them back so he could crawl.<\/p>\n

The path to light and justice<\/h2>\n
