    Again riveting! You really have been fortunate to be able to talk to Colin. By the way, I know that Daisy's De Melker husband live for many years after she was hanged. Did he have any descendants? Their father must have told them interesting stories too.

    My grandmother worked with Daisy at some stage, and Daisy tried to persuade my grandmother to take out life insurance.

    She probably killed them by just looking at them.

    @Beebles9140

    There must've been a deeper motive for the murders than simply money. Could be abuse?

    Old auntie Daisy was one mad cookie. Someone you do not take cookies from.... 😢😢😂😂😂

    I think Daisy went to England to see if there was any more money owing to her late husband. Daisy was mad and a gold digger.

    You are always welcome to go and search the Panga man who killed the loved couples at Die Fonteine. My grandfather did catch the Panga man, it was one of their cleaners at the station. He did always check the book who's on duty for the night. My dad & uncle are still alive the know the whole story and facts know exactly where they catch him at the Die Fonteine in Pta because my dad were still child and grandfather show him and my dad show one day..
