Matoma Masipa. Burger newspaper. This claim was made by a family member after Mr Kieser's body was roped from a ravine on tne Michells Pass outside Ceres in the West Cape where he had been killed.
The State accuses Linda Siebrits (38) and a friend , Charise Doubell (32), of throwing Kieser down the ravine four days earlier.
His body fell about 20 metres before it landed on a tree. et Kieser glo vier dae tevore hier oor ’n krans gegooi. Sy liggaam het sowat 20 m geval en net ’n boom het gekeer dat dit verder val.
The Witzenberg Herald reported on Thursday that Kieser had 'died of a drugs overdose'. However at the moment it's not known if Kieser was dead when he was thrown down the ravine.
Shortly before Siebrits and Doubell allegedly were at Kieser's home in Moorreesburg.

Kieser got a visit on that Monday by Siebrits and Doubell. Ms Heystek refused to comment about the murder.
Die Burger writes that 'blonde-haired Siebrits who lives in Parow was spotted several times with Kieser at dog-shows, an unnamed family friend of Kieser's told the newspaper.
The unnamed friend attended the court-appearance in Moorreesburg of the three accused and said: "she wanted to come and see who the people were who hurt uncle Johan."I wanted to 'stare them to death', and I want to know how and why he was hurt".
Co-accused Charise Doubell's mother said she was so tormented about the death that she contacted police detectives in Brackenfell and told them about it.
The daughter of a woman who now lives in Australia, and who had been engaged to Mr Kieser years earlier, told Die Burger her mother 'ws just as shocked about the news''
She described Mr Kieser as a 'well-dressed, tough old Afrikaner man, always painfully neat'.
Heystek and Jeanne Kieser, the murdered dog-handler's daughter, are overwhelmed by messages of concern from the dog-world.
A private cremation is being planned. It's details are unknown.
■ The three suspects applied for legal aid and expected to appear in the same court on Wednesday to apply for bail. They have not been asked to plead to any charges yet.
