“Have you thought of anything similar to this?” Samuels asked as she looked at the man inside the car whose skin have now turned blue black probably from the heat.
“I can think of 1, The silent killer. It was in 1989 taxi drivers were found dead in their taxis. There were no signs of forced entry in all of the cars meaning that the victims knew the killer and they were comfortable around him, comfortable in a way to let the killer insider the car.”
“If I recall correctly the silent killer killed only women in this case there are 2 women and 1 male.”
Slindile nodded “Whose the victims?”
“George Harrisburg, I called his wife who is waiting for us how about we go talk to her?”
They both went to the car and headed where Mary Harrisburg lived as according to the information that Themba had sent.
As Samuels rounded the corner they came around to the quiet neighborhood that had big houses. Everything in this part looked expensive which said a lot about the person they were going to see.
Samuels parked at a house that looked like it was newly renovated, Samuels knocked on the door and a man who looked just like Mary opened the door “You must be the detectives.” He said and didn’t wait for an answer before he turned around and led them to the lounge where Mary sat with a tissue on her hand.
“Mary.” Slindile said gently so as to not freak the poor woman, she looked up as they introduced themselves and sat down opposite her.
Samuels nodded at her, indicating that she must take the lead.
“I’m sorry to be doing this but we have to interview you and we’ll let you be. We found your husband’s car in the side of the road in the direction of Olifant is there any reason for him to be there?”
Mary shook her head as she took another tissue from the box.
“Or maybe you knew who he was meeting?”
Mary fiddled with her fingers as tears swelled up on her eyes “I don’t know but I have had my suspicions.” She said as she angrily wiped her tears and shook her head “I believed that he was having an affair I just didn’t have proof but I could tell from the sudden late night meetings I just knew it. “
Slindile and Samuels exchanged a look and she just knew what he was thinking that maybe the side chick had killed him for whatever reason and that’s where they should head now to have a talk with the mistress.
