However, this tragedy proved that the Lowveld is home to a community whose members unite during a crisis and who would leave no stone unturned in ensuring that one of their own is safe and sound.
A second suspect appeared in the local Magistrate’s Court today in connection with her kidnapping. Her family members did not attend the appearance of the first suspect yesterday, as they were identifying Annatjie’s body at the time.
A post-mortem was also performed yesterday and Annatjie’s son, Mr Wendell Myburgh Jr, said they were praying that God would take the hands of everyone involved in this process and lead them.
Since Annatjie’s body didn’t have any visible wounds, it is suspected that she had died of a heart attack. It is believed that she died on Wednesday – the day she had disappeared.
