At noon yesterday, a family member visited the home of the elderly couple, but found them beaten to death in their Somerset West home.
“The family member found the sliding door open and phoned the police,” says polices’ André Trout.
“The police made the discovery of the body of Anita Joubert (age 75) in the main bedroom and her husband Stephanis (age 77) was found in the on suite,” says Trout.
He was still alive and admitted to a local hospital and died due to his head injuries.
The police believe the motive for the murder was a housebreak in, as household goods were piled up but not removed from the scene.
