"An earlier family picture of the devoutly religious Dutch/Fresian family which was struck by the quadruple-murder tragedy in Roodepoort, South Africa: from left to right: surviving opera-singer son Douwe Jr. (1983-), the murdered father Douwe Gezinus Bijkersma who was a lecturer at the Pretoria Technical College (1950- May 1 2008), surviving daughter Hendrika Johanna (Anneke) (1976), murdered wheelchair-bound matriarch Hendrika Johanna (Hettie) (1950-May 1 2008), survivor Jan (1977), survivor Hiltje (1979). Son Douwe, a baritone opera-singer, still managed to sing in his debut as Dr Malatesta in Donizetti's opera Don Pasquale in the Pretoria Opera House a few weeks after the traumatic experience. The four victims included the grandmother Johanna Durieux and caregiver Mrs Gelske Wouda, 40 – all suffered ‘numerous stab wounds’ and were found badly mutilated with their throats cut, family members said. Mrs Durieux, 87, survived for another two months. Their chauffeur Stephanus Modise is on trial, charged with three murders and attempted murder". http://www.salonmusic.co.za/aandante%2002.htm http://www.bijkersma.com/stamboom/Fam_262.htm
If Your Thinking of coming to South Africa ask yourself a simple question, "Why would this not happen to me"?
