Christine and her husband, Robbie, in happier times |
She owned the Rra-Ditau Safari Lodge. The lodge is situated on 125 acres and can accommodate 30 guests.
Christine was badly beaten and stabbed in the neck and a large sum of cash was stolen from the premises. She had withdraw the cash to pay her employees. She was found in her private wing of the lodge. Sadly, she succumbed to her injuries.
Christine was originally from Liverpool, England and was a retired teacher. She had taught English to children at various international schools in Europe, the Middle East and China. She had moved to South Africa in 2002 with her husband, Robbie, to run the lodge. When her husband died of cancer in 2012, she decided to stay on and to continue with the business.
Two of the lodge workers are being sought by police in connection with this murder.
