LOW’S CREEK – According to police, a man turned the gun on himself after he allegedly shot and killed his mother on the farm Tonetti
Police spokesman, Brig Leonard Hlathi, would not reveal their names as yet. However, sources confirmed that the deceased is in fact Norris and his mother, Sylvia. Norris was facing trial for the double murder of Luke Von Johnston (66) and John Khoza (73) two years ago.
His trial date was set for November 4 and 5. According to Hlathi, both were staying in the same premises, but in different houses.
“It is suspected that they had a family dispute and the man went to his mother’s house where she was attacked. They were both certified dead on the scene by medical practitioners.”
Hlathi added that one of the family employees narrowly escaped by hiding in one of the rooms.
“Preliminary investigation indicates that the firearm belongs to the deceased’s wife as his licensed firearm is still in police custody pending the outcome of the trial.”
Police are investigating a case of murder, unlawful possession of the firearm and an inquest has been opened.
Not to say justice has been served by any means here. 4 lives lost for no apparent reason. However there is judgement beyond life. Norris was a fault for 3 of the innocent lives being lost.
