Slain Stellenbosch family dominates newspaper front pages

Neighbours and friends are in shock after three members of a family were killed with what appears to be an axe in the home on an exclusive golf estate in Stellenbosch yesterday.

Martin van Breda (54), his wife Teresa (55), and their son Rudi (22) were found dead in their home. Their 16-year-old daughter Marli is in a critical condition in hospital while their 20-year-old son Henri was slightly injured.

At this stage, it is not clear what the motive was or who attacked the family.

The estate’s homeowners association confirmed there was no breach of security at the estate which has 8km of fence and security cameras.
