Botha’s captors were later identified as Frans du Toit and Theuns Kruger. They took her to a deserted area on the outskirts of town. There, they brutally raped her, disemboweled her, and slashed her throat so deeply that she was nearly decapitated. Finally, they left her to die but she survived miraculously.
