Original Note:
The claim that Kim (victim) & Alexander Towne (accused) were in US as part of the new South African refugee program is FALSE. Kim was a SA Expat who had moved away from the country long before the refugee program was initiated. Alexander is an American Citizen. https://vocfm.co.za/south-african-expat-killed-in-suspected-domestic-violence-incident-in-the-u-s/ https://iol.co.za/weekend-argus/news/2025-05-29-tragic-murder-of-south-african-teacher-kim-towne-by-her-husband-in-the-us/ https://www.thesouthafrican.com/news/rip-cape-town-teacher-kim-white-towne-killed-by-husband-in-united-states/#
