Daan Fourie

Daan Fourie (1939 - 2012)

Brief overview:

Daan (73), a retired builder living on a rented smallholding outside Vanderbijlpark, was stabbed seven times, and bled out, on 28th December 2012.

His body was found, along with one of his workers, inside the house. Daan's sister, Dinkey Halvorsen, the owner of the smallholding, said her brother was stabbed with one of his own knives, and believes the the knife was still in his body when he was found.

Another worker found the two bodies the following morning, and called the police, who in turn contacted Dinkey. The murderers entered Fourie's bedroom, but it is unclear how they accessed the property as there is an electric fence.
