The DNA from the Hankey crime scene reportedly is also linked to another case in Patensie.

DNA samples taken from a man accused of raping a woman and violently attacking her family at their Hankey farmhouse was an exact match to DNA swabs which were on bedsheets and shorts.

Sebenzile Simane, 32, has pleaded not guilty to a string of charges which include housebreaking, robbery, kidnapping, rape, attempted rape, causing children to witness a sexual offence, attempted murder, unlawful possession of firearm and ammunition and robbery with aggravating circumstances. In the bedroom, Simane pointed a gun towards the nine-year-old boy’s head. The woman said the attacker was agitated because her teenage son had disappeared.

According to the woman, Simane believed that R9,000 was owed to him and he kept telling the children he was angry with their father.
