Former Middies prop Vincent Enslin was murdered during the past weekend in an apartment in Pennington, KwaZulu Natal.
Vincent Enslin (32), his uncle, Henry Heyns and a friend (identity uncertain) was attacked by robbers on Saturday morning at 03:00 in their holiday apartment.
According to Enslin’s stepmother Elsabe de Jager, it is still not clear what exactly happened.
“They stabbed him in the neck severing the main artery. Whether he was awake and then sank back on his bed, or whether they stabbed him while he was sleeping, we do not know.”
Robbers stabbed Heyns on his hand between two fingers. He was also stabbed on the cheek.
Marche Fick explained on Facebook how she was tied up by the robbers. She wiggled herself loose and went to call for help.
When she hurried to the bedroom where Enslin was, she slipped in a pool of blood next to his bed. He was already dead.
The robbers loaded everything they could in a car and fled. The vehicle was found the next day not far from the scene. All the stolen items were still inside.
“Why would one kill just like that? Take everything and just go. We do not want anger, anger will make you sick.”
“Unfortunately at the moment I can spit someone dead” said De Jager.
Enslin will be remembered by those who knew him as a “gentle giant”. He was a big man with a soft heart who always laughed.
Enslin was cremated in Amanzimtoti where his mother lives. There will be a funeral service held for him on Friday January 2, 2015 at 11:00. It will be at the Corpus Christi Church in Aerorand Middelburg.
