Lwayiphi Monise (1963 - 2001)

Brief overview:

Lwayiphi (38), and his wife, Nokwayiyo Killton (35), were hacked to death with an axe, whilst looking after their employers farm, Swallow's, owned by Ian Schwartz, on 24th June 2001.

Schwartz was away in Durban. Police Spokesperson, Captain Sibongile Ndyoko, said their bodies were found with multiple stab wounds by Songezile Cala, who went to deliver milk to Swallows farm, situated between Stutterheim and Keiskammahoek.

Their bodies were found behind a sofa in the lounge of the farmhouse. Cala looked through the window and saw their baby crying on a bed. Ndyoko could not confirm if they had classified the incident as a farm attack but said the motive appeared to be robbery.

"The whole house was ransacked and we will know upon Schwartz' return on what is missing," Ndyoko said. Sandile Hloba, the Police Area Commissioner has described the killing as brutal. Ndyoko pledged to the community to assist in the arrests of the culprits by calling Captain Dawie Peters on 0824975731 or 0880010111. A reward is on offer and all the information will be treated with confidentiality.
