And that seemed to be the end of the case... ——————————- 18 July 2013 – Centurion/Verwoerdburg: Mr Ernest Bester, 47, who worked as an estate-liquidator, was found shot dead with TWO bullets in his upper body around 10h30 on Saturday, July 18 2013. The body was found next to the Ben Schoeman Highway at the Rooihuiskraal off-ramp. SAPS constable Tumisang Moloto said at the time they ‘could not confirm whether he had been the target of an assassin’. Mr Bester’s body was found two hours before the police found his hijacked Toyota Corolla in Eersterust, east of Pretoria. The case is deeply mysterious: his brother-in-law Louis Wilbers said Bester was kidnapped two weeks before his murder by people in a white BMW, in the Lyttelton area – he was assaulted by these men but he survived. There are no arrests in either case. One of his best friends Gerard Harding said Bester loved hunting and had promised him that ‘if anything happened to him he would take his 13-year-old son Ernest Bester Junior hunting once a year’. “I promised him because he suffered from a heart-problem, and I will keep my promise,’ said Harding – adding that Ernest Junior and his sister Kayle 16 doted on their dad, who was divorced from their mom. The 13-year-old boy is a keen wrestler and participates in many competitions, avidly supported by his dad. The children are suffering deeply from the loss of their father. His memorial service took place at the Dutch Reformed Church in Wierdapark.
