Donald Lionel Lloyd Matthews (1917 - 1999)

Brief overview:

Donald (81), and his wife Stella Alma, were attacked in their Gordon's Bay home on 27th February 1999. Donald was stabbed to death in the couples bed. Stella was stabbed 14 times.

Testimony shared by their Granddaughter Carole on a discussion forum:

"My grandparents were attacked in 02/1999, in Gordon’s Bay, Cape Town. My Granddad, Donald Lionel Lloyd Matthews, after a stroke and already confined to a wheelchair, was stabbed to death in his bed, while my grandmother, Stella Alma Matthews (nee’ Sharp) a little bird of a woman at 4’9″, was stabbed 14 times, locked in their bedroom with the body of my dead grandfather, and left to die. After a night in agony, she was able to drag herself to the window and attract the attention of a passerby the next morning. She eventually recovered from her physical wounds but obviously took her mental anguish to the grave with her a few years later. And what was stolen from the house? A video recorder!"
