Family, school holidays, a cottage in the Cederberg: it sounds perfectly idyllic. Except for the Meyers from Moorreesburg.

It started to emerge that they deliberately chose a remote stone house on the Keurbosfontein guest farm near Clanwilliam.

Sources say the mother drugged her children with sleeping tablets dissolved in Coke before shooting them where they lay in their single beds. The couple’s bodies were found next to one another on the double bed in the single roomed cottage. Blood underneath Teresa’s shoes suggests she was the shooter, says the source.

While the motive for the family slaying remains hazy, it’s believed that it was financial stress - probably linked to R46 million in fraud charges that the Meyer couple were facing. “I’m sorry, but Luhan and I can’t go on anymore. We are financially ruined with no light at the end of the dark tunnel.”Meyer allegedly wrote that legal costs had bankrupted her over a period of nine years.
