Update
MOSSEL BAY NEWS - The community of Fynbos Heights, the lifestyle village where Dina (73) and Ernst Marais (71) had lived in Mossel Bay, has been leaning on one another for support following the couple’s tragic deaths last week.
The Maraises had been visiting the Kruger National Park up in Limpopo when they were brutally murdered.
Their bodies were discovered floating in the crocodile-infested waters of the Levubu River on Friday 22 May, following an extensive search operation that had been launched the previous day.
Both victims had sustained multiple stab wounds to their bodies.
Fynbos Heights’ general manager, Helia Scherman, said following the tragedy, she has witnessed a strong support system among the residents.
“They were very loved by this community,” said Scherman. “They will be dearly missed.”
Dina and Ernst had no children, but had close relationships with their neighbours, friends and family.
The Limpopo Police are investigating two cases of murder, as well as a case of hijacking.
No arrests have yet been made and no funeral arrangements have been confirmed, either.
