‘n Man het Sondagaand (1 Maart) ‘n gru-vonds gemaak toe hy op sy ma se lyk \u2013 wat halfpad onder ‘n bed versteek was \u2013 afgekom het.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die oorledene, Martha Fredericks (64), het ten tyde van haar dood alleen in haar woning op die Rainbow-plase langs die Robertsonpad in die Overhex-distrik gewoon.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens Fredericks se hartseer niggie Maryna Fredericks (33) het Martha se skoonma, Francina Fredericks (87), wat langs die oorledene op dieselfde plaas woon, Saterdag-laatmiddag (28 Februarie) bekommerd begin raak omdat hulle Martha die betrokke dag nog nie met ‘n oog gesien het nie.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maryna vertel dat toe haar oom Loewie Fredericks Sondagoggend vir Martha kom haal het vir kerk, was haar voordeur gesluit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy s\u00ea omdat die sleutel nie in die sleutelgat was nie en al die vensters toe was, was Loewie onder die indruk Martha is reeds kerk toe.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maryna s\u00ea Sondagaand omstreeks tienuur het Martha se seun, Eugene (40), wat op dieselfde plaas woon, na sy ma se huis toe afgesit om na haar te gaan soek.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kombuisdeur was oopgesluit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Volgens haar het Eugene via die kombuisdeur wat oopgesluit was toegang tot die huis verkry.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy s\u00ea Eugene het paniekerig begin raak toe hy sien sy ma se woning is erg omgedolwe.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens Maryna het Eugene sy ma op haar maag met haar hande agter haar rug op die vloer in die spaarkamer aangetref.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy s\u00ea haar tante se bolyf was halfpad onder die bed versteek en dat haar een hand blou was.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Ons het gedink sy het dalk ‘n hartaanval gehad. Die polisie het aan ons bevestig sy is aangerand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Hulle [die polisie] wou nie h\u00ea ons moes na die liggaam kyk nie omdat haar gesig erg geskend was.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens Maryna was daar geen teken(s) van gedwonge toegang tot die huis nie. Sy s\u00ea in hierdie stadium word net Martha se handsak uit die huis vermis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens haar vermoed die familie Martha is Saterdagaand vermoor<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geen vyande<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Maryna s\u00ea Martha het geen vyande gehad nie en sy sou ook nooit ‘n vreemdeling in haar huis toelaat nie.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy beskryf haar tante as ‘n vrolike mens wat kon lag “tot sy op die grond l\u00ea”. Volgens haar was Martha ‘n kerkvrou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martha se man het haar jare gelede reeds ontval.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AO Vathiswa Jacobs, ‘n polisiewoordvoerder<\/a>, s\u00ea daar was bloed aan die oorledene se mond en wurgmerke aan haar nek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Niemand is nog in verband met die voorval in hegtenis geneem nie.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘n Moord-dossier is by die polisie geregistreer. Enigeen met inligting wat meer lig op die saak kan werp, kan die Worcester-polisiekantoor by 023 348 8605 bel. Benewens Eugene word Martha oorleef deur nog twee seuns, Selvin (46) en Marcelino (33).\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘n Huisdiens vir Martha word Saterdagoggend om 09:00 gehou, waarna die begrafnisdiens om 10:00 in die Overhex-gemeenskapsaal sal plaasvind. – Enrico Claassen<\/p>\n\n\n\n
