The chilling words of Laura du Plessis (45) while she looked at her hands with the dried blood of her husband who was murdered in their house last night, on a smallholding at Vaalbank near Bonkhorstspruit, South Africa.
Less than 12 hours earlier she was asleep next to her husband Roelof (46).
Then 5 black armed terrorists entered their house.
They went to their son Riaan's room, assaulted him, threatened him with a firearm, and demanded to know who else is in the house. They then took him to the living room.
Roelof woke up from the noise and went to see what is going on. He then bunped into the terrorists. Laura also woke up and rushed out of the room armed with a flashlight. When Roelof saw one of the men was heading for her, he started fighting with him. They then started shooting.
Laura went to hide in the en suite bathroom and telephoned for help.
In the meantime Riaan managed to escape and ran to the neighbours for help.
Roelof called her when the attackers have left. She tried to help him and to stop the bleeding, but she couldn't do anything. She then went to get the car, but Roelof couldn't even get up from the floor. He died shortly after that.
Apart from Roelof's life, the terrorists took nothing else.
