    The late Christine Robinson is pictured above with her late husband, Robbie.

    After Robbie died, Christine was left to run a 125-acre private safari lodge on the border of South Africa and Botswana.

    However, she was brutally murdered at the Rra-Ditau lodge in 2014, apparently at the hands of a gardener who had worked at the game park for two years.

    Only recently has the suspect, Andrew Ndlovu, been caught and put on trial for the alleged rape and murder thanks to a ‘honeytrap’ Facebook sleuthing campaign set up by Christine’s niece.

    The Telegraph has more about the grisly situation that occurred all those years ago:

    The retired teacher from Liverpool withdrew about £3,500 from the bank to pay her staff on the eve of the alleged attack in July 2014.

    She was found in a bedroom at the luxury lodge on the Botswana border the next morning, with her throat slashed.

    At that point, Ndlovu disappeared, possibly over the border to his homeland, Zimbabwe.

    Christine’s niece, Lehanne Sergison, was heartbroken and struggling to get information and closure from lacklustre South African authorities.

    So the Kent, UK resident launched her own investigation, adamant that her aunt’s alleged killer could be found and prosecuted despite the police’s lack of interest:

    She delivered a petition to Downing Street in 2014 demanding action, to no avail.

    However, rumours soon began to circulate that Ndlovu had returned to South Africa, so Ms Sergison set up a bogus Facebook account in 2019 to befriend his contacts.

    An attempted honeytrap followed:

    She discovered his new Facebook account and arranged a date in Johannesburg, but her hopes of a sting operation were dashed when the police would not cooperate.

    After noticing new activity later on his Facebook page and not receiving a reply to her message to him, she defied official advice to post a picture in July 2020 of Ndlovu on her Facebook page in an appeal for South Africans to help her.

    She received assistance on that front from a few people with sizeable followings:

    This prompted Ian Cameron, a campaigner who was then at the minority group AfriForum, to repost it on his Facebook and Twitter pages.

    A whistleblower saw Mr Cameron’s post and told him where the man lived and worked.

    Hours later, Ndlovu was arrested by South African police in Johannesburg.

    That was in July 2020, and on Monday, the 32-year-old appeared in Polokwane High Court where he pleaded not guilty to rape and murder.

    At the time of the arrest, Sergison said that she was never going to give up on her aunt, and hopes that she can now rest in peace.

    The case has been adjourned until Wednesday for a full trial.
