Brief overview:

Andries (39), foreman at the farm of Wessel Kriek (77) and wife Valerie (76), in Danielskuil in the Northern Cape, was attacked and hacked with a panga, then bludgeoned with a large rock, on 13th June 2022. The attacker then dragged Andries's body to an outside room.

Wessel and Valerie were watching television when the perpetrator was attempting to break into the kitchen door. Andries received a call from Wessel and went to assist, and walked straight into the attacker.

The Kriek's called the police who arrived and arrested the suspect (33) who is expected to appear in the Danielskuil Magistrate’s Court on charges of murder, attempted murder, car theft and burglary.

Police spokesperson, Capt. Olebogeng Tawana, confirmed to Maroela Media that the 33-year-old suspect may have also attacked a 13-year-old girl about an hour before the this attack. "The man allegedly stabbed the girl with a knife around 17h00 in Kuilsville and stole an unknown amount of cash. According to reports, the girl was on her way to the shop to buy electricity," said Capt. Tawana.
