Afrikaans teacher murdered in Klerksdorp

Anne Pederson, 74, Nov 29 2010, murdered with gunshots and knives, Irene Park home, Klerksdorp.
2010-11-30 Klerksdorp. 74-year-old retired teacher Mrs Ann Pederson was attacked and murdered in her home in Irene Park, Klerksdorp. She sustained bullet- and slashing-wounds. Hardened policemen said they were ‘shocked’ by the method in which Mrs Pederson was murdered. She was a beloved teacher who taught at the Klerksdorp Primary school for some 35 years. She lived with her businessman-husband Torben in the home where she was attacked at around 9am on November 29 2010 by several black men. The local police immediately started following a trail with tracker-dogs. It’s not certain whether anything was stolen.
Mr Pederson said that they would have celebrated their 51st wedding anniversary on December 12. The Pederson-couple were well-known Rotarians in town. Their family friend Ms Petro Nel, a DA-opposition party councillor, said she was very angry about the murder of ‘her dear and very humane friend’. “She has left deep tracks in the local community. No human being deserves to die this way, it’s incredibly evil.’ She is survived by two daughters Mrs Ingrid Murray and Karen Walstra, and four grandchildren. http://www.beeld.com/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/Oud-onnie-74-in-haar-huis-doodgeskiet-20101129
