Update: Who murdered Igna?
Yesterday, four years ago, our town’s well known audiologist was kidnapped from her home. Hours later she was murdered and her body dumped in a ditch.
Everybody is still baffled about the senseless murder of Ms Igna Nortjé on May 30 2012.
One thing the police is sure off. This was not a robbery gone wrong, because the only thing which was taken from their safe, was a gas pistol.
The gas pistol was found next to her body in a ditch near the Police Station in Verena. Her car was parked just a few metres from her body.
The murderer forced Ms Nortjé into her own vehicle, a BMW, and drove from her home in Sipres Street, Dennesig, to the ATM at FCM Total (Hendrina road).
There he tried to withdraw money, but the transaction did not go through and he drove off to Stoffberg, where he again tried to withdraw money.
Later a resident from Groblersdal and a petrol attendant at a garage in Groblersdal confronted a man when they heard someone kicking in the trunk.

The suspect jumped into the car and drove off in the direction of Dennilton. The resident tried to follow the vehicle, but it was too fast and he could not keep up with it.
Both the eye witnesses were shocked when they heard that the person in the trunk was Ms Nortjé and that she was stabbed to death.
• The first person to offer an award of R10 000 was Mr Tonie Etsebeth (from Titon Security). A few days later Ms Nortjé’s father, Mr ST Potgieter, offered an award of R100 000 for information which may lead to the arrest of his daughter’s murderer.
Cllr Sanmari Wait offered a further R1 000 and Pastor Harry Knoesen another R10 000.
• Any person who could help the police with new information, can call W/O Steve Msiza at 013 249 8000.
