Family friend in Cape court over wife’s death

Cape Town - “Dean was just sitting there, looking broken, Hillary was lying on her stomach, feet facing the front door and a pool of blood around her head. Cleaning her blood was the last time I somehow touched her, it was not a pleasant experience”. This was the scene Derek van Rooyen described on the day his wife was found dead in their Durbanville home.

He echoed this under cross-examination. “I adored her, she adored me. You couldn’t help but love her. She was very generous. We always had a good relationship, we were very much in love.” Van Rooyen described how on May 9 he received a call from Tygerberg Animal Hospital to say someone had picked up his wife’s car keys and handed it in at the Eversdal School.After failing to get hold of his wife, Van Rooyen called the OK Mini Mart opposite their house and asked the manager to check if anyone was home.Finally, Van Rooyen asked his eldest son, Dean, to check up on his wife.

Derek said he then left work. When he arrived people, an ambulance and police were there. Van Rooyen then drove to the Hillary’s mom to inform her. He added that he knew of the accused but that he was not a close friend of his youngest son, Luke and he was aware that he had been at his house the previous day.
