Du Toit’s statement that “Theuns doesn’t speak good English” broke the eerie hush that had pervaded the drive to a suburb outside of Port Elizabeth.
Du Toit slowed down and parked on the sand as it approached a wooded area. After ‘Clinton’ got out of the car, Kruger raped Alison.
‘No, I can’t do this,’ Kruger said, yelling ‘Frans’ at his accomplice as he started to attack her as well. This was the name Alison memorized.
‘If we take you into town now, you’ll go to the police,’ Frans then forewarned Alison. After that, Du Toit posed the horrifying query, “What do you think Oom Nick would want us to do with her?”
Oom Nick is an allusion to Satan in Afrikaans. “I think he wants us to kill her,” Kruger retorted. Before Du Toit strangled Alison until she fainted, the malevolent pair made her take off her clothes and rings.
Uncomfortably, Alison recalled that just before she passed out, Du Toit apologized to her.
