When 49-year-old Elim woman, Charlene Jooste was found deceased in her home in 2021, the rope around her neck indicated that perhaps she had taken her own life. A deadly secret from a decade before, though, would illuminate the truth and soon suicide was completely discounted.
Ashley October and accomplice Tashwell van der Rheede were eventually found guilty of the murder of October’s former wife Charlene.
October strangled her and staged a suicide by putting a rope around her neck. They had also staged a robbery, with Van der Rheede carrying off shop items as part payment.
October rented shop space from his ex-wife on her property and on the night she was murdered, she was babysitting her grandchild.
