MARLOTH PARK – A couple who recently moved house in the area were taking a dip in their splash pool for the first time on Saturday night when they were attacked by an armed man.
Mr Ian and Ms Carol Mattheus were enjoying the sunset in the coolness of the water, when Carol saw movement behind one of the trees close to the pool and house. Although her husband told her she was just imagining things, she thought it safer to go fetch the panic button.
She had just returned to the pool, when a man dressed in a black T-shirt appeared next to her and pointed a gun at her. He told her not to push the panic button or he would “blow her brains out”, and then demanded that the two get out of the pool and into the house. Carol, however, managed to press the button, which made the robber furious.
Upon getting out of the water, an altercation between her and the man ensued when she wanted to get a towel.
The man started pulling Carol by her legs across the stoep towards the bush, but she fought back by kicking and screaming hysterically. Ian, who had had many knee operations priorly was not as agile as before. He struggled to get out of the pool and slipped on the wet tiles, but managed to get hold of his wife’s arms and hair. He also grabbed a piece of wood that was lying on a table and started hitting the assailant, who in turn grabbed Ian’s forearm. His only thought was to protect his wife and he bit into the hand of the assailant, who then let go and ran off.
The police were notified of the incident and by time of going to press no arrests had been made.
