Alarm laat aanvallers vlug wat op plaas toeslaan
Bothaville. – ’n Bejaarde boer en sy vrou is ongedeerd nadat die alarm in hul plaashuis gisteroggend vroeg hul aanvallers die skrik op die lyf gejaag het.
Mnr. Tom Meyer (72) is egter baie hartseer oor sy twee Boerboele, Leo en Ounooi, wat vergiftig is.
Hy sê die huis se alarm het omstreeks 02:00 afgegaan en hy kon op die kontrolebord sien die alarm is in die kombuis geaktiveer.
Hy het opgestaan, maar alles in die kombuis was oënskynlik in orde.
Meyer het deur die res van die huis gestap en toe hy by een van die vensters uitkyk, het hy gesien dat die een hond op die grond lê.
“Ek is weer na die kombuis en toe ek aan die deur vat, was dit oop.”
Hy het dadelik die Vrystaatse Landelike Beveiliging (VLB) gebel en ook die polisiediens. “VLB was binne 15 minute op die plaas. Albei die honde is vergiftig. Hier lê stukkies maalvleis rond. Ons vermoed die gif was in die vleis.”
Meyer sê kort ná die voorval het sowat 15 jong boere van die omgewing met patrollies begin, maar niemand is nog in hegtenis geneem nie.
“My en my vrou, Anna (73), se harte is seer oor die honde. Ons het hulle sowat twee jaar gelede as babahondjies gekry. Ons het altyd met hulle gaan stap.”
Die veiligheidshek van die agterdeur is oopgebreek.
Meyer sê hulle is baie dankbaar dat die inbrekers afgeskrik is.
Kapt. Stephen Thakeng, polisiewoordvoerder, het by navraag dié voorval bevestig. Hy sê die polisie beskou dit nie as ’n plaasaanval nie, maar as ’n inbraak.
Hy sê die honde sal na Kroonstad gebring word, waar toetse gedoen sal word om te bepaal watter gif gebruik is.
Thakeng sê die polisie ondersoek die moontlikheid dat dieselfde mense vroeër die aand by twee motors by ’n gastehuis in die omgewing probeer inbreek het.

Teen kills robber at home
Cape Town police say a teen has killed a robber and injured another after catching them in his home.
The suspects allegedly broke into the family's Rondebosch East home and held the teenager's mother and sister in the house in the early hours of Friday morning.
Police spokesperson Colonel Andre Traut said: "The son of the owner came home and stumbled upon the two suspects, aged 28 and 30.
"There was a confrontation and the son stabbed both alleged robbers - one died on the scene."
The other man was arrested at the Hanover Park Day Hospital for the house robbery and an inquest docket has been opened.
The family are too traumatised to speak after the incident.
"We are still coming to grips with what happened and we're all still shocked. We saved each other's lives," the mother said.
"I hope nothing happens to the boy who was only protecting his family," a neighbour said.

Foreign visitors raped, one arrest made
TWO foreign visitors – one a 15-year-old German girl and the other a 22-year-old Dutch charity volunteer – were raped in separate violent attacks at the weekend.
The attacks on the tourists come just weeks after a largely incident-free World Cup.
In the incident at a Bed and Breakfast in Addo early on Saturday morning, the German girl was raped while her 14-year-old male cousin was held at knife point with a blanket over his head.
The rape happened around 5.30am after the two teenagers arrived in South Africa with other family members for a holiday. They had booked into various bed and breakfasts around the Addo area while the girl’s mother was staying at another guest house nearby.
Police spokesperson Priscilla Naidu said one of the attackers had gained entry to the chalet in which the minors were staying by breaking a back window. The robber then let his accomplice inside the room by unlocking the front door.
“Both men then held the children at knife point and threatened to kill them if they made a noise.
“The police were alerted a short while later and the children who are very traumatised were taken to Greenacres Hospital,” said Naidu.
In the second incident, a 27- year-old man was arrested after allegedly raping the Dutch volunteer in the Storms River area at around 6am on Saturday. The woman had been working as a volunteer at an informal settlement in the district.
“Fortunately, the man alleged to have raped her is well known to police working in the area and was easy to track down,” Naidu said.

Tot bank weggedra in kompleksinbraak
Twee meenthuise in 'n sekuriteitskompleks binne Serala View is Woensdag deur inbrekers geplunder. By die een meenthuis is meer as R25 000 se goedere gesteel.
Die inwoner, wat nie sy naam bekend wil maak nie, sê dit wil voorkom of die verdagtes met 'n skroewedraaier die voordeur se slot oopgebreek het.
"Toe ons Woensdagaand by die huis kom het die voordeur oopgestaan. Ek het dadelik geweet iets is fout." Hy het Maandag gesê hy het die saak by die polisie aangemeld, maar hulle het sedert die voorval nog nie vingerafdrukke kom neem nie. Die sekuriteitshek by die kompleks is volgens die inwoners al drie weke buite werking. Daar is ook geen sekuriteitsmaatskappy wat verantwoordelik is dat die hek beman word nie.
Die man sê hulle woon al ses maande in die kompleks en het juis daarheen verhuis om veiliger te wees. "Ons betaal vir sekurtiteit," sê hy. Volgens die man is 'n konstruksiewerker aangesê om die hek saans te beman, maar dié is nie altyd op sy pos nie. Die wag by die hek het aan Informant bevestig hy is 'n bouer en sê die hek is al drie weke buite werking. Hy het Donderdag gesê hy moet nou wagstaan in die dag en nag.
By die ander meenthuis, wat reg langs die sekuriteitshek is, is 'n vrou se leerbank gesteel. Sy het dit Maandag bevestig en gesê sy is nie seker wat nog alles gesteel is nie, omdat sy met verlof is en nog nie by haar huis was sedertien nie. Sy kon ook nie bevestig hoe daar by haar huis ingebreek is nie. Informant het ondersoek ingestel en bepaal die verdagtes moes toegang verkry het by die sekuriteitshek, omdat daar weinig ander toegang is met die hoë geëlektrifiseerde mure wat die meenthuise omring.
Die Polokwane polisiewoordvoerder, kapt. Mohlaka Mashiane het bevestig hulle ondersoek twee sake van huisbraak en diefstal. Oor die vingerafdrukke wat nog nie geneem is nie het hy gesê hulle sal dadelik ondersoek instel hoekom dit nog nie afgehandel is nie. Hy het inwoners van beide die meenthuise en Serala View aangemoedig om hulle bure en sektor polisie te leer ken. "Sekuriteitsmaatreëls moet opgeskerp word en inwoners moet hulle bure in kennis stel wanneer hulle nie by die huis is nie, sodat dié 'n oog kan hou," sê Mashiane.
Hy het gesê enige iemand met inligting oor die voorval moet die polisie kontak. Intussen het die maatskappy verantwoordelik vir die uitverhuur van meenthuise in die kompleks, gesê hulle is tans besig om die hek reg te maak. Hulle het gesê volgens hulle inligting is daar in die dag toegang tot die man se huis verkry, nadat hy nie sy deur gesluit het nie. Dit kom nadat dieselfde maatskappy volgens die huurder, reeds die slot wat gebreek is kom regmaak het. Die maatskappy het bevestig daar is 'n aandwag wat die hek beman.

Two families in Western Deep village robbed
Two families in Western Deep Levels became victims of robbery on Monday evening, in a time span of approximately 15 minutes.
The first family were home, at approximately 01:30, when their domestic servant started screaming.
Apparently this had happened before, and the father of the household thought that she was just hallucinating.
The house’s back door was closed, but not locked, and what he did not know is that three suspects had entered his home. When he eventually got up to look what was going on, he saw two men in the kitchen.
Him, and other family members were held at gunpoint and a pair of running shoes and electric appliances were stolen.
Just 15 minutes later, the family of a house around the corner was robbed too. The suspects allegedly knocked on the front door at 01:45, saying they needed help. When the father opened the front door, he was attacked and tied up. His daughter was also threatened by the suspects.
The suspects stole electric appliances and clothing, and then fled on foot.
Anyone who has information regarding these robberies must call Detective Warrant Officer Soon Theron, who is the investigating officer in both cases, at 082 854 1017.

Rowers bind gesin op bed vas
Potchefstroom - Gewapende rowers het ‘n gesin van vier Woensdagoggend met hul eie skoenveters vasgebind terwyl hulle die huis plunder.
Mnr. Botha Burger vertel dat hy en sy vrou, Adele, omstreeks 03:00 wakker geskrik het met vier gewapende mans wat in hul slaapkamer staan.
Die rowers het die paartjie se twee kinders, Christiaan (12) en Jan-Harm (10) uit hul beddens gaan haal en saam met hul ouers op die bed laat sit.
Burger vertel dat die rowers skoene uit die kas gehaal het. Die twee volwassenes se hande en voete is vasgebind, die kinders se hande is ook vasgebind.
"Op ‘n stadium het daar ‘n skoot afgegaan," vertel Burger wat steeds in skok is "Ek is nie seker of dit opsetlik of per ongeluk was nie."
Terwyl een van die rowers die vreesbevange familie dopgehou het, het die ander rowers glo deur die huis gestap en gevat wat hul kon.
Volgens Burger is die omvang van die roof nog nie bekend nie. "Hulle het die televisie, twee kameras, skootrekenaar, selfone en my vrou se juwele onder andere gevat," sê Burger.
Die rowers het met Burger se bakkie gevlug en die familie net daar gelaat.
Die roof het ongeveer 40 minute geduur. "Dit het langer gevoel as wat dit seker werklik was. Ons het net aanhou bid dat die Here ons moet help, maar ook hulle moet help."
Toe dit stil geraak het, het Jan-Harm, sy hande steeds vasgebind, na die oop badkamervenster gegaan en na die bediende, wat op die erf bly, geroep.
Die bediende het die familie se hande en voete met ‘n mes losgesny. Burger het die bediende se selfoon geneem en die sekuriteitsonderneming geskakel. Hulle het weer die polisie ontbied.
Burger is vol lof vir die vinnige reaksie van die polisie en die sekuriteitsonderneming.
Burger se bakkie is blykbaar verlate langs die Paryspad gevind. Volgens kapt. Aafje Botma, woordvoerder van die polisie is geen inhegtenisnames tot dusver gemaak nie en word ‘n saak van huisroof steeds ondersoek.
Die rowers het toegang tot die huis gekry deur die diefwering voor ‘n venster in die sitkamer weg te buig.
"Ons kan net sê dank die Vader dat nie een van ons seergekry het nie," sê Burger.
In Republiekstraat het kriminele ook toegeslaan.
Volgens Botma het rowers iewers tussen 22:00 Dinsdagaand en 06:00 Woensdagoggend ‘n televisie gebuit.
‘n Man het glo Woensdagoggend wakker geword en gesien dat sy televisie weg is. Die dief het ook hier ‘n venster oopforseer en diefwering gebreek, sê Botma.
‘n Saak van huisbraak en diefstal word ondersoek.

Kinders met mes gedreig, beroof
Potchefstroom - Twee boeties, onderskeidelik 13 en 11 jaar en ‘n vriend (13), het die afgelope Vrydag ‘n nare ondervinding gehad toe hulle deur drie booswigte met ‘n mes gedreig en beroof is.
Die twee boeties het Vrydagmiddag by ‘n vriend in Jeugdstraat gekuier toe hulle deur twee onbekende volwasse mans genader is. Die mans het glo aan die seuns gesê dat hulle R150 elk kan verdien as hulle vir tien minute T-hemde opvou.
Die seuns het onmiddellik onraad vermoed. "Ons ken nie so ‘n T-hemp plek in Potch nie," sê die oudste boetie. Hy sê die mans het eers verby hulle gery waar hulle sokker gespeel het. Die motor het glo omgedraai, teruggery en ‘n ent verder, voor ‘n gastehuis, gestop. Volgens die seuns het dit verdag gelyk.
Toe die seuns weier om die mans te help het een van die mans het ‘n mes uitgepluk en teen een van die seuns se keel gedruk.
Hy het na bewering gedreig om die seun se keel af te sny en gesê die seuns moet hulle selfone op die vloer gooi.
Die jongste seun se selfoon het om sy nek gehang. Die rower het dit van sy nek af gepluk. Daarna het een van die mans ‘n R100-noot op die grond gegooi en hulle het na ‘n wit Toyota Corolla gehardloop waar ‘n derde man vir hulle gewag het. Die drie verdagtes het gevlug met een Samsung- en twee Nokia-selfone.
Die twee boeties se ma vertel dat die kinders baie getraumatiseer is deur die voorval.
Volgens die ma is die kinders nou skrikkerig om buite te speel.
"Vrydag was die skok en trane nog baie erg, dit word darem nou al so bietjie beter," sê die bekommerde ma.
Die seuns se ma wil ander ouers en kinders waarsku teen dié kriminele en mense bewus maak dat jong kinders ook geteiken word.
Volgens kapt. Aafje Botma, woordvoerder van die polisie, word ‘n saak van roof ondersoek. Geen inhegtenisnames is nog gemaak nie.
* In ‘n ander voorval is ‘n man van Orkney in Nelson Mandelarylaan beroof.
Die slagoffer het Saterdagoggend om 06:20 met die voet geloop toe twee verdagtes hom gegryp en met ‘n mes gedreig het waarna hul sy selfoon geroof het. Die verdagte is later, volgens Botma, deur die polisie in hegtenis geneem.
Die beweerde rowers sal spoedig in die hof verskyn.

Wittedrift killer’s hard life overshadowed by heinous nature of crimes
The boy who stabbed 78-year-old Wittedrift librarian Johanna Blignault and then tried to rape her as she lay bleeding to death has been sent to jail for 15 years .
CHRISTIAAN Branders was 17 when he stabbed Johanna Blignault dead at her home in Wittedrift in September last year, but has since turned 18. He earlier pleaded guilty to the murder, attempted rape and to robbing the old woman of groceries and electrical appliances.
An alleged accomplice, who was 16 at the time of the horrendous crime, has pleaded not guilty and will next appear in court on August 3. Knysna Regional Court magistrate Herman Buhr said the seriousness of the crime, which rocked the Plett community, far overshadowed Branders' difficult personal circumstances. Branders showed little emotion but appeared shocked when he was sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment for the murder, six years for the attempted rape, and four for housebreaking.
The latter two sentences are to run concurrently with the first. Three previous suspended sentences of more than two years' imprisonment which Branders picked up in the course of last year for housebreaking, theft and taking a vehicle without the owner's permission were reinstated to also run concurrently with the 15 years. Asked by Buhr whether he understood the sentence, Branders shook his head, and still appeared uncertain about what had happened to him while being led away by a policeman, even though the magistrate explained the punishment again in simpler terms.
A crowd of angry Wittedrift residents attended earlier court appearances of the two young accused and even petitioned for a denial of bail, but only Branders' grandmother, Anna Stadhouer, 79, was present for the sentencing. She exchanged a few quiet words with her grandson before he was taken to the court cells.
Stadhouer told CXPRESS she was "very heart sore" about Blignault's murder. "I would not wish such a terrible fate on any-body, let alone a woman as old as myself. "I have to accept the sentence. There is nothing else." She said Branders moved in with her in Green Valley next to Wittedrift when he was seven, after his dad died and he was rejected by his alcoholic mother. "He fell in with the wrong crowd. They (the other youths) are still there (in Wittedrift) now."
Magistrate Buhr said he had taken into account Branders' age and his unhappy childhood, but he had already experienced early adulthood and the crimes were "very serious".
"You ruthlessly attacked a helpless old woman with a dangerous weapon, a knife, then you robbed her and tried to rape her while she was breathing her last gasps. "Just as children require protection, so too should old people be protected."
Branders had shown little respect for the authority of the court, as witnessed by the continuation of his criminal activities despite receiving three suspended sentences for other crimes, Buhr said. Soon after the murder it emerged that Branders and the other boy were among a group of children who had been visiting "Tannie Blignault" for years to ask for food. Community members said the librarian, who had lived in and served the Wittedrift community for 50 years, had never turned away a hungry child.

Baby Marzanne case remanded
Johannesburg - The case of the two men accused in the baby Marzanne Kruger assault was remanded in the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court on Monday.
Geraldt Nyantumbo, aged 28, and Nelson Maphosa, aged 28, were accused of brutally assaulting 2-year-old Baby Kruger in a robbery at the Kruger family home in Robindale on Easter Saturday.
The baby lost her sight as a result of the attack.
Her minder Francina Sekhu was also badly beaten.
A third suspect, Chakhoma Machaba, aged 28, was still at large and believed to be in Mozambique.
The state requested that the case be postponed until August 30 for further investigation saying DNA tests needed to be done.
Blood from Baby Kruger had been drawn for these tests.
