Farewell for Emily

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Pupils at the Trinity House Preparatory School will remember their slain classmate Emily Williams, 12, with a memorial in the school hall on Monday, the school confirmed on Wednesday.

Only school pupils would be able to attend the remembrance service as the school hall, in Randpark Ridge, was simply not big enough to accommodate everyone who wanted to pay their respects to Williams, said a school spokesperson.

It is understood that the girl’s funeral will be held at St Michael’s Anglican Church in Bryanston on Friday – however, this has not yet been confirmed.

Williams died when she was hit by a bullet fired in a standoff between robbers and security guards at a house in Kessel Street, Fairland, on Tuesday morning.

Three of the robbers were arrested at the scene, police said, a short while after the shooting.

Two firearms were recovered.

A fourth robber was arrested in Soweto late on Tuesday afternoon.

It was not yet known when they would appear in the Johannesburg magistrate’s court, Inspector Bokkie Keulder said on Wednesday.

“There is a possibility they might be linked to other cases,” he said.

This was still under investigation.

Detainees may be held by the police for 48 hours before appearing in court.

Keulder dismissed reports that a fifth robber was being sought.

Williams, a Grade Seven pupil, was in her mother Tony’s bronze BMW X3 with her 10-year-old sister Sophie and two other pupils when they stopped to pick up classmate Alison Saunders at her home in Fairland at 7am on Tuesday.

However, it was not the schoolgirl, but a robber who came out of the house when Mrs Williams hooted.

She asked him who he was, but he ignored her and went back inside. She suspected something was amiss and called Chubb Security.

The robber and his accomplice had attacked the Saunders family an hour earlier, tying up Alison, her father, grandmother and their domestic worker. They opened fire when the security guards arrived.

Emily was struck in the car. Realising her daughter had been shot, her mother drove away, trying to reach the Wilgeheuwel Hospital.

On the way she met up with paramedics at a petrol station in CR Swart Drive. Despite their efforts to save the girl, she died. – Sapa
