Brief overview:

Sandy (56), was strangled to death, a approx year before her husband Francis Abraham Gaudin (58), was murdered, by 2 Mozambican assailants of whom one has been caught and sentenced to life in prison - information supplied by Brendan from Aunty Veda

The body of Sandy was found on her kitchen floor at about 16:00 on Friday afternoon. Her hands had been tied with electrical cables and a cable had presumably been used to strangle her. Her husband, Frank, an African art expert and collector, was in Johannesburg on business at the time of the attack.
