Flowers for Sue – Dullstroom community in mourning

Sue Howarth will be going back to the United Kingdom.

The ‘English girl’ as her friends described her, passed away in the Life Midmed Hospital on Tuesday after being tortured and shot during a farm attack on their farmstead Marchlands, near Dullstroom. Her husband, Robert Lynn, was treated in hospital and discharged on Wednesday.

The Dullstroom community will be holding a memorial service for Sue sometime next week. Several family members from the U.K. will be travelling to South Africa to attend. A fixed date and time have not yet been set. Sue will be cremated and her ashes flown back to the U.K.

Members of the Dullstroom community have requested people who drive past the Marshland farm, to put flowers at the entrance in memory of Sue.
