Guesthouse owner was shot dead during an armed robbery on her remote farm while her foreign housemate was bound and gagged with wire and left for dead | WitnessKZN

Patricia “Trish” Vause Taylor , who owned the Threeways Getaway guesthouse, and her 70-year-old friend were watching television on Monday evening at about 8 pm when they were attacked.“I kept asking myself why am I still alive, why are they not also killing me, why is this happening?” said the friend.

“They pulled me up and started tying me. At the same time, they went to Trish and she just looked at the guy and said ‘hey’. That was it. He just shot at her at close range through her breast. I couldn’t believe it. I thought I was next and started praying,” she said. “I managed to free my hands from the wire. I couldn’t believe that Trish was dead. I quickly sent a message to my husband in Zambia and got a call through to neighbours and police. The police didn’t even know where to find us and took forever to get to us. Our neighbours were here within an hour,” said the traumatised woman.Taylor’s grieving son Jason , who lives in Durban, said they received a frantic call from their mother’s friend’s husband from Zambia, informing them of what had happened.

“We grew up in the area and mum wanted to live here in her old age. She bought the farm in 2007 and recently developed the guesthouse that had just started doing well. This place was a haven — a sanctuary for us. It’s just so unbelievable,” said Jason.There were two guests staying at the guesthouse, a mere five metres away from Taylor’s house — at the time of the incident.
