'Ndizisa ipasela' ('I have a delivery'). With these innocuous
words, four men entered a home in suburban Cape Town on the morning
of 15 June 2005. Within minutes, Jordan Leigh Norton, the
six-month-old daughter of Natasha Norton, had been murdered. As the
weeks went by, a shocking story began to emerge: Jordan had been
slain by killers hired by Dina Rodrigues, the lover of Natasha's
former boyfriend (and Jordan's father). The callous murder -
thought to be the world's first contract killing of a child - was
the start of a horrific ordeal for the Norton family, and
culminated in one of South Africa's most sensational murder trials.
In cold blood goes behind the tabloid headlines to tell the story
of the Norton family. This is the story of a child whose short life
touched all around her; of a young and vulnerable mother trying to
make a life for her child; the close-knit family that rallied
around her; and the marathon murder trial that captured the world's
attention. Shocked by the senseless murder, the family struggled to
come to terms with the loss of Jordan, the scarcely credible story
of the conspiracy and the media storm that erupted around the case.
Led by Vernon Norton, Natasha's father, the family was sustained by
the support of the community and by an abiding faith that justice
would prevail. In Cold Blood is a dramatic personal story, but also
draws attention to the ongoing problem of violence against children
in South Africa.
