Salie-Hlophe found that Susan's death was consistent with manual strangulation and asphyxiation, and that Rohde had tried to make it look as though his wife had hanged herself with the chord of a hair iron from a hook on the back of the bathroom door.if the high court meted out a harsh sentence.produced evidence that a policy held by his deceased wife had paid close to a million rands into a trust set up for their three daughters' upkeep.
