Reiger Park mother Marilyn ‘Becky’ Matthysen was found stabbed to death and lying in a pool of blood in Williams Street, Reiger Park, on December 2.“Becky told us a number of times that her boyfriend was abusing her and she wanted to leave him and return to her husband, who she shared three children with.
She added that they were surprised when they went to the Reiger Park Police Station on December 7 and heard that the boyfriend had been released from prison due to insufficient evidence. “No one deserves to die like this. I am pleading with the community to come forward to help us get justice. I’m sure someone saw something and would like to take this opportunity to clear the name of my niece’s husband. He is not the one who killed her.”
“Our police officers received a tip-off from the suspect’s mother, who claimed her son had killed his girlfriend. Officers went to the house and found the man’s girlfriend lying in a pool of blood on the street and arrested the 43-year-old man, who was sitting next to the body with what we believe are the murder weapons next to him,” said Msimanga.A community member of Reiger Park, Avis Phillips , said GBV, abuse, murder and crime are rife in their community and have become worse.
