Steeds met die bebloede pantoffels waarmee sy geskok moes toekyk hoe die polisie die lyk van haar man van die afgelope elf jaar en die pa van haar twee kinders verwyder, het \u2019n bedroefde Adel Basson (35) van Saldanha Dinsdag hartverskeurend vertel hoe die tragedie hom afgespeel het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Christo Basson (36) het Dinsdag (25 Junie) in die vroe\u00eb oggendure op die sypaadjie voor die Laerskool Saldanha gesterf nadat twee onbekende mans die egpaar aangerand en beroof het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Bassons het van hul huis in die Lane na die BP-vulstasie se deurnagwinkel gestap om sigarette te gaan koop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNet verby die kragboks voor die laerskool het ek so effens voor Christo gestap. \u2019n Man met krukke het ons gevolg \u2013 so een meter weg. Die volgende oomblik het Christo gegil: \u2018Adel, daar slaan hy my nou!\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die man het nie ophou slaan tot Christo op die grond beland het nie. Adel het een van die krukke gegryp en die aanvaller daarmee geslaan om haar man te beskerm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het gesien hoe \u2019n ander man vanuit Eerstelaan aangehardloop kom en vir \u2019n oomblik nog gedink hy gaan hulle help, maar di\u00e9 man het \u2019n mes uitgepluk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die twee aanvallers het hulle aandag nou op Adel gevestig terwyl Christo probeer opstaan het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie man met die mes het my handsak se band afgesny en dit gegryp.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adel se hand is in die proses raakgesny. Sy moes later steke kry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die rowers het in Minetokastraat op weggehardloop, waarop Adel vir Christo ges\u00ea het sy sal solank na die vulstasie toe hardloop om hulp te gaan ontbied; hy moet huis toe hardloop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die vulstasie is straataf van die kragboks af sigbaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adel het met haar bloeiende hand gehardloop en by die vulstasie gevra dat die polisie gebel word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die polisie het haar na die polisiekantoor toe geneem waar sy gevra het dat hulle haar man by die huis moet gaan s\u00ea dat sy veilig is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hulle het hom egter nie by die huis by hul kinders, Christo (9) en Chris-Jaunel (14), gekry nie, maar inmekaargesak op die sypaadjie voor die skool, \u2019n ent van waar die rooftog plaasgevind het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het verskeie wonde gehad en noodpersoneel het hom behandel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adel is aanvanklik ingelig dat Christo nog lewe en na die hospitaal vervoer sou word, maar moes later hoor dat hy \u201cdit nie gemaak het nie\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het aangedring om na die moordtoneel te gaan, maar was agterna spyt daaroor. \u201cEk moes nooit gaan kyk het nie. Hy het met oop o\u00eb daar gel\u00ea,\u201d het sy tussen die trane deur ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het gesien dat daar ook bloed op die oorkantste sypaadjie was. \u201cDaar was orals bloed \u2013 plasse bloed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adel sal vir altyd wonder of die twee rowers dan teruggekom het om seker te maak dat hulle Christo doodmaak, want die bloedspatsels op die oorkantste sypaadjie maak glad nie vir haar sin nie, tensy Christo verder om sy lewe moes geveg het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haar hart word in twee geskeur omdat sy hom daar \u201cgelos\u201d het om hulp te gaan soek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die polisie het later die dag die Bassons se identiteitsboekies en \u2019n bos sleutels op die strand opgetel, maar Adel se beursie, geld en bankkaarte is steeds weg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Buurtwaglede het glo net n\u00e1 die voorval gesien hoe twee mans, wat by Adel se beskrywing pas, verbyhardloop. Hulle kon hulle egter nie opspoor nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Christo het \u2019n lewe gemaak deur houtmeubels en ander houtwerk te doen. Hy het ook gereeld vir \u2019n vriend by sy onderneming gewerk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die egpaar, wat nie \u2019n motor het nie, is gereeld gesien waar hulle saam stap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adel onthou bedroef hoe lieflik die vorige dag vir die gesin was. \u201cOns het Vredenburg rooi gaan verf.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hulle sou Dinsdag weer dorp toe gaan om klere vir die kinders te gaan koop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Christo was Adel se beste maat. \u201cHy was so spontaan en \u2019n bok vir sports. Maak nie saak waardeur ons gegaan het nie \u2013 hy het altyd die lig in die lewe gesien. Hy was die rots in die huis; ons steunpilaar. Ek weet nie wat ek sonder hom gaan maak nie. Hy was my alles; hy was \u2019n awesome <\/i>mens.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Bassons het as tieners op \u2019n kerkkamp in die Kaap ontmoet. Hy was in die Ho\u00ebrskool Tygerberg en sy in die Ho\u00ebrskool President. Hulle het in 2009 na Saldanha verhuis en is in 2013 getroud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die polisie ondersoek \u2019n saak van moord en roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Geen begrafnisre\u00eblings kan gemaak word alvorens die lykskouing om die amptelike oorsaak van dood te bepaal, nie afgehandel is nie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
