Wimpy bar manager murder: two suspects in court Sept 21 2009

 

 Lambert Theron, 20, Kempton Park Wimpy bar manager, was hacked to death in an alleged revenge-murder: two black co-workers arrested, appear in court Sept 21 2009

September 14 2009 – KEMPTON PARK, Johannesburg, South Africa. Two local Wimpy snack-bar workers, arrested as the prime suspects in the murder of 20-year-old Afrikaner manager Lambert Theron on Sept 6, are scheduled for an appearance in the Kempton Park magistrate’s court on Monday, September 21.

The two men, Lloyd Katsande and Fanie Msiza, both 25, were lifted from their beds just hours after the gruesome murder after police had viewed CCTV video vootage of the incident.

Picture below: Lambert Theron, 20, who worked as a manager at a Wimpy fast-food shop in the Kempton Park Festival mall near the railway station, was murdered on Sunday-evening September 6 2009, reported a Kempton Express journalist in the article reproduced on this page.  Strangely, this horrific incident was not reported in the main-stream media.

Theron Lambert 20 murdered in black racist revenge Wimpy Kempton Sept72009The young Afrikaner was just closing up shop when, according to several witnesses, two black co-workers demanded that the manager must give them money from the till to 'borrow'. Mr Theron told them however that he couldn't - as it was the company's money, not his.

They even cut off his lips – the traditional revenge to indicate a ‘liar’:

According to the closed-circuit TV video footage of the incident, police said  that two black co-workers were then allegedly seen attacking the young Afrikaner. According to the forensic evidence, Theron was stabbed, his teeth were kicked out, his lips were cut off and his head was crushed by a meat-hammer.

The only newspaper reporting this alleged revenge-killing was the local Kempton Express, which is published by Caxton newspaper. email kemptonexpress@caxton.co.za editor Ms Christa Smit, tel 011 970-3030. They have no news-website. We thus publish the clipping provided to us about this report and have been able to obtain other evidence from very well-placed sources in Kempton Park.

We invite readers to please also send us any pictures of the late Mr Theron to complete our records, and any public court documents they could obtain for publication during the course of the trial.

The two suspects were lifted from their beds at 2am Monday morning after police had viewed the Sunday-evening murder on the close-circuit camera videos, said Capt Jethro Mtshali.

The murder was discovered late on Sunday-night after Theron's father Johan Sr. 64, had sent his other son Johan junior, 24, to go and look for Lambert  when he failed to return home.

  • The brother found the mutilated corpse of his young brother in the shop's dressing room, and the father and brother then contacted the local police. However two of the cops who arrived to investigate, reportedly were 'very arrogant', according to witness reports, and had even chased the traumatised father from the Wimpy restaurant. Comment about this could not be obtained from the police, however the police did confirm that, after having viewed the horror-scenes of the young man’s murder on the closed-circuit TV video recording at the shop, the police immediately drove to the workers' homes - finding them asleep in their beds.

Murder was an ‘accident’…

Police also confirmed that the suspects still had R1,000 in cash with them -- apparentlystolen from the Wimpy till, as well as Theron's cellphone and other items belonging to the young manager. Family members and friends say that ‘the arrested men’s comments to the investigating police officers were that the murder had been 'an accident'. 

  • The forensic examination revealed that his head had not only been caved in with a meat-hammer – but they also counted 30 stab-wounds all over his body – besides the fact that his teeth had been kicked out and his lips were sliced off. The suspects’  arraignment will take place in the Kempton Park magistrate's court, Capt Jethro Mtshali of the local-cop shop, said.

The murdered young Afrikaner was buried on Thursday-afternoon amidst much public interest. Local Afrikaans community members say they are up in arms about the cruel murder – which they said was based on pure anti-white racism. source of picture:  coertbotha@hotmail.com

SAPS censors murder report to news media?

  • Strangely, the SA Police Service’s daily reports of crimes to the news media did not include this particularly horrific murder in their lineup – and neither have they reported this in their SAPS Journal online – which usually is very quick to record ‘police successes’, has not published this particularly gruesome murder nor details about the rapid arrests of the suspects thus far.

Wimpy targetted before:

  • This same Wimpy also was the scene of an armed robbery on 29 May 2006 as well. Staffers then were confronted by two black men inside the diner at about 08:00 and screamed for help, spokeswoman Cynthia Kleinhans said. The pair ran off and some of the mall's informal, unarmed car guards then gave chase. Police and metro police arrived and one man was arrested carrying a firearm and the restaurant's keys. The second man had run into the veld and was shooting at the police. He was arrested about 20 minutes later in CR Swart road. He was shot in the leg during this arrest.
