Jong ma se lyk in afvoerpyp gevind

Kaapstad - Die lyk van 'n 28-jarige ma van twee, Liesel Fourie, is in 'n stormwaterpyp gevind ná sy vir dae lank vermis was.

Fourie se verloofde, Cobus Hanneman, het Saterdag aan Nuus24 gesê sy is ook verkrag.

"Haar hande was met haar broek agter haar lyf vasgebind en haar gesig was inmekaargeslaan," het Hanneman per telefoon gesê.

Fourie, wat in Rustenburg gewoon het, was op 'n naelversorgingskursus in Benoni die afgelope maand.

Sy het by haar ouers in Brakpan tuisgegaan.

"Liesl het net gou winkel toe gery vir brood en melk," het Hanneman gesê oor Fourie se verdwyning op Vrydag, 16 April.

Fourie het egter nie dié betrokke dag teruggekeer van die winkel, Caroline's in Voortrekkerstraat, Brakpan, nie.

Haar ouers het onraad vermoed en die polisie in kennis gestel.

Fourie se voertuig is eers verlede Dinsdag in Windmill Pioneers Park, Springs, gevind.

"Die agtervenster was stukkend en daar was bloed op die motor," het Hanneman die toneel beskryf.

Fourie se lyk is sowat 500m van die motor in 'n stormwaterpyp gevind.

Volgens Hanneman het die polisie vingerafdrukke op die voertuig gekry, en sal DNS-toetse ook gedoen word.

Spring-polisie het Saterdag gesê die saak word ondersoek, maar kon geen verdere inligting uitreik nie.

'n Begrafnisdiens vir Fourie sal Maandag, 26 April, om 11:00 by die Sewendedag-Adventiste Kerk in Hastingslaan, Brakpan, plaasvind.

Sy laat twee seuns agter.

Robbery in Pietermaritzburg

Pietermaritzburg - A botched armed robbery has left an armed suspect with three bullet wounds and a 29-year-old security guard slightly injured.

Four men, two armed with guns, entered People’s Supermarket in Hoosen Haffejee Street and held the security guard at the door at gunpoint on Thursday afternoon.

Owner Irfaan Dawood said on Friday he was on the phone when he saw two of the men manhandling the guard, and he rushed to intervene.

“I dropped the phone and as I was approaching the entrance, one man pointed a gun at me and forced me to lie down. The other two were wrestling my guard for his firearm, kicking him in the mouth in the process.

'People were scattered all over'

“A second gunman pinned my father down on the floor and kicked him in the ribs. Gunshots rang out inside the shop after that.

“People were scattered all over the place running for cover,” said Dawood.

One gunman let go of Dawood’s father and shot at the guard, who wouldn’t let go of his firearm without a fight, but later gave it up.

A second guard who heard the commotion from the back of the shop came to the front and returned fire, hitting one gunman once in the arm and twice in the upper leg.

The robbers then ran away, leaving the guard’s gun behind.

This was a second armed robbery at the shop within months.

On the first occasion, five men entered the shop pretending to be customers, held the guards at gunpoint and ran away with cash.

“Those men used the same modus operandi and they made away with an amount of money,” said Dawood.

“After this attack we have beefed up our security because we cannot allow ourselves to be soft targets to criminals.

Guards, police commended

“My guards were brave and I commend the police for their swift reaction, which led to the arrest of one of the criminals.”

According to police statistics, 2 499 cases of business robbery were registered in the province between 2008 and 2009.

Police spokesperson Captain Thulani Zwane confirmed the incident.

“The wounded suspect was arrested at Hassim Centre in Church Street.

He was taken to a local hospital where he is under police guard. Police have recovered a .38 special revolver in his possession,” said Zwane.

The suspect will appear in court shortly on charges of armed robbery, attempted robbery and attempted murder.

Welcome

Hey Everyone

This blog was created because of the success of our facebook group In memory of our leader Eugene Terreblanche...However its grown into something much bigger . The current situation in SA is problematic and everyday over 65 people are brutally murdered . Together we have established a campaign against the senseless crimes driven by political hatred in our once beautiful country. Many of us fear for our lives amidst the great political war that is waging in our country . Politicians are screaming for violence and as a result of the ANCYL actions thousands of people have been murdered in the last 3 weeks. The official number of dead people are 1500 farmers in exactly 2.5 weeks . Everyday the number of deaths in SA rises by 2% making us more dangerous than Iraq and Afghanistan. We (South Africa) have been called baboons by Cnn and they have rated us 3rd most dangerous in the world next to Columbia and Venazuala. This is a race war dont be fooled by the media . 90% of the murders commited in SA are done by merciless criminals fueled by Julius Malema's hate song "kill a boer" .
