Die Swanepoel-egpaar van Bainsvlei, Bloemfontein, is bo-op mekaar doodgeskiet: Eers Toon (72) en toe sy vrou, Rienie (70).
Die egpaar, wat baie geheg was aan mekaar, was by hul dood ineen verstrengel. Hul lyke is met doringtakke toegepak.
’n Rower het van Rienie se beskuit gestaan en eet terwyl hy toegekyk het hoe sy makker die egpaar in die kop skiet.
Kort nadat hul lyke in ’n ou braaiplek langs ’n murasie uitgewys is, wou een van die drie vermeende moordenaars weet of hy op borgtog van R100 vrygelaat kan word.
“Ek het werk by ’n buurman gekry. Ek moet môre begin,” het hy gesê.
Nie een van die drie het enige teken van berou getoon of hoegenaamd omgegee oor die moorde nie.
Die egpaar word as “liewe, vriendelike” mense beskryf wat vir alle mense omgegee het. Seuntjies van die omgewing het gereeld by haar aangeklop en geroep: “Ouma, ons soek biscuits!”
Toon het vroeër as eienaar van Hamilton-paneelkloppers vir sy swart vennoot, Tammy, ’n motor gekoop om van Brandfort te ry.
Die Swanepoel-moorde is die sewende dubbele plaasmoord in die streek sedert 2010.
Dié moorde is byna dieselfde as die dubbele plaasmoord in September 2012 toe Johan Fourie (71) en sy vrou, Cecile (72), op hul plaas buite Trompsburg dood is.
Net soos die Fouries is die Swanepoel-egpaar kort nadat hulle die oggenddiens Sondag in die NG kerk Waterbron bygewoon het in hul plaashuis oorval.
Die Swanepoels is vermoedelik vasgebind op die bed waar-op Toon se ma, Fien Swanepoel (95), slaap wanneer sy daar bly.
Hulle is ure lank gemartel en daar is aan hulle gesê hulle moet doodgemaak word omdat hulle die aanvallers kan uitken, word verneem.
Rienie en Toon Swanepoel.
Teen skemer is hulle agterop Toon se bakkie gelaai en met hulle die veld ingery. Die buit, soos ’n televisiestel, was ook agterop die bakkie.
Hul pleitgebede het niks gehelp nie – hulle is bo-op mekaar geskiet en doringtakke oor hulle gegooi.
Van die moordenaars het die gebuite drank glo daarna onder ’n boom gaan uitdrink. Toe hulle dronk moles op ’n buurplaas maak, is die polisie ontbied.
Toe Toon se bebloede das agterop die bakkie gekry is, is die ergste vermoed.
Nico Swanepoel, hul enigste kind, het gesê nadat die besef van wat gebeur het by hom ingedring het, het hy bitter gevoel.
“Ek is bitter omdat hulle so gemartel is. Ek is tog dankbaar dat hulle saam weg is. Hulle was onafskeidbaar. As een nog moes ly, sou dit verskriklik gewees het . . .”
Die familie is baie beïndruk deur die optrede van al die polisie-eenhede op die plaas.

President Jacob Zuma should resign within 20 days, EFF leader Julius Malema said on Thursday.
Malema arrives at police station to charge Zuma
ANC response to Nkandla report riddled with inaccuracies: DA
'Biased and sensationalist' Madonsela must go, says ANCYL
ANC won't apologise for Nkandla: Mantashe
Call for Zuma's impeachment 'premeditated': ANC
ANC will question Zuma on Nkandla if necessary: Mantashe
Parties call for Zuma's head
"Zuma should step down. If he fails to do so within 20 days, the EFF will march to the Union Buildings... and we will not leave the premises until he resigns," Malema told supporters outside the Sunnyside police station in Pretoria.
This was prompted by the release on Wednesday of Public Protector Thuli Madonsela's final report on the upgrades to Zuma's private Nkandla homestead in KwaZulu-Natal.
In her report, Madonsela found Zuma "unduly benefited from the enormous capital investment" in the Nkandla upgrades, totalling R246 million.
Madonsela found that Makhanya had made R16.5 million as Zuma's architect and as the public works department's principal agent for the Nkandla project.
Malema said the racketeering charge was added "because Zuma operated with criminals".
"Let me help the police here... Zuma does not allow electronic transfers, I have worked with him. He doesn't take cheques either."
He said Zuma should be charged following Madonsela's report and be arrested.
Zuma's children should also be investigated and a lifestyle audit conducted.
"He has a son who collects the cash for him. All his children must be investigated," Malema told cheering supporters.
"They are arrogant and have become a law unto themselves. The police should show that no one is above the law."
