Mrs Hilda Verster, 93, murdered, son stabbed, two knifemen, Hospitaal Street, Paarl.
2011-07  Die Burger journalist Jan Gerber writes on July 13 2011 that the mutilated, tied-up body of the elderly Mrs Hilda Verster was found in her home at Hospitaal Street 63 in Paarl. Nothing appears to be stolen.

Her 63-year-old son Izak Verster found her body after he was also ambushed and stabbed by two knifemen when he stopped by his mother's house at 15:30. Her hands were tied with a leather belt; a rag was pushed into her mouth.Mr Verster was attacked by the two knifemen storming from her house with one screaming to the other: 'stab him, stab him'.He was stabbed in the back and arms. Neighours said she lived with her deaf son Francois, and he ate lunch with her between noon and 1pm. Warrant officer November Filander of the local police says it is suspected that she was murdered between 14:30 and 15:30. Mr Izak Verster was in the area at the time to do a course: he actually lives in Pietersburg. The two knifemen fled and have not been arrested. Mr Verster was treated in hospital and discharged last night.Neighbours described Mrs Verster as 'an angel on earth' who despite her advanced years, was very active, liked to garden and made her own food. Son in law Dawid Conradie of Somerset-Wes, who was on the scene the same night, said the family was very shocked. It appears as if nothing was stolen from the house.He is married to Anne-Marie, Mrs Verster's daughter. - Die Burger
