Lindley, Muldersdrift – At about midnight Charles Henderson, an elderly man heard the dogs barking outside. He went to his storeroom where he was surprised by four armed suspects (two with firearms and two with knives). He was hit with a wooden post and a brick and left outside.
They then went into the house where they found his elderly wife, Jenny.
They tied her up and severely assaulted her as well. It is believed that the Henderson then stumbled back into the house where he surprised the suspects in the kitchen. One of them then hit him at the back of his head with a shovel.
He died on the kitchen floor due to the severe head injury. They then proceeded to assault his wife, asking for money and firearms and threatened her with savage behavior. They took time to drink some alcohol and made arrangements for a car to come and collect the loot.
They ransacked the house and made off with four firearms, ammunition, cash, cell phones, computers, IPAD and other valuables.
The severely injured women battled to free herself for quite some time and then succeeded to push the panic button.
When the Iron Fist Squad and Tactical Reaction Units arrived at the scene they found her sitting with her husband’s head on her lap in the kitchen.
SAPS Muldersdrift was called to the scene. These ruthless murdering suspects now have four firearms with ammunition and we (Drift Reaction cc) are hunting.
Jenny was admitted to hospital for her injuries.
