Two Mozambicans were found guilty for the brutal murder of Fanie Engelbrecht (78) and his wife Colleen (74) on Mother’s Day, 13 May 2018, between 09:00 and 10:00, on their farm Welgevonden near Poortjie on the West Rand, Gauteng province.

One of the attackers, Jossias Nhalungo (36) worked for the Engelbrechts for 8 years. The other man found guilty is Julius Goncalves (24). Two other suspects are still being sought.

Fanie’s throat was cut and Colleen was burnt with a hot clothes iron and then strangled with the cord. A cellphone, tablet, some cash and 2 firearms were stolen from the house.
