Noreen Bryant van der Walt, 84, dies of brutal attack in Westcliff, Hermanus home: one day before her 85th birthday:
The 84-year-old woman who was brutally attacked and robbed in her home in Westcliff last Tuesday morning, died in hospital on Friday as a result of her injuries. --Noreen Bryant van der Walt (84) was at home with her husband Bernardus Rijcks (85), who is bedridden, when a suspect walked into their home and stabbed Noreen several times with a knife, before fleeing the scene with R1000 in cash after Bernardus pressed the panic button. It happened around 10:30. According to Lieutenant Fadila September for the Hermanus SAPS, no one has been arrested yet, but she emphasised that the police is doing everything in their power to find the suspect. Noreen’s family will hold a private cremation today, 12 September, a day before she was supposed to celebrate her 85th birthday. There will be a gathering for family and friends at their house in Fourie Street on the same day at 13:00. Noreen was born in Kimberley on 13 September 1930. She qualified as a nursing sister in Cape Town and this is where she met Bernardus Rijks van der Walt, a student in architecture. They were married in Kimberley and lived there for a while, before moving and living for some time in Kenya and the then Rhodesia. Noreen and Rijks have four children, Mark, Karen, Peter and Rijanne.
