Family and friends were left distraught and in shock after an alleged domestic violence incident turned into murder and suicide.
According to a Police Spokesperson, the neighbours said that the Husband, Renaldo Cenoz was fighting with his wife Anna Maria (Boshoff). SAPS attended to the domestic violence scene at 22H15.
It is said that Renaldo drove over his wife, Anna, with his Toyota Carolla. He sped off but returned a short while later. He took Anna to Mediclinic Highveld in Trichardt. UPDATE: From the comments it would appear that Anri was sitting behind the vehicle when Renaldo reversed. This could not be confirmed yet.
The hospital informed SAPS at 23H00 that the wife passed away.
The police then tried to contact Ronald, the husband, but could not find him nor could they make any contact with him.
A case of murder was opened.
While the police were still investigating Anri’s case, they received a phone call that Renaldo was found at the abandoned mine along the road between Evander and Secunda. He allegedly jumped from one of the structures.
Emergency personnel declared Ronald deceased on the scene.
The neighbours contacted a security company to the scene shortly after they heard Anri running out of the house.
By the time the security company arrived at the scene, Renaldo had allegedly already driven over Anri.
The couple’s three sons witnessed everything. They are currently staying with family members of the couple.
This is truly a tragedy that has left three lives totally shattered.
The words on Anri’s (the victim) Facebook page may haunt people for some time to come: “Só lief vir my 3 monsters en manlief”
