Who was Christine Robinson?
Christine Robinson was a British expat who was originally from Liverpool but had been living in South Africa for the past decade leading up to her death.
The 59-year-old was a former teacher as well as a keen traveller spending time teaching English abroad.
She moved to South Africa to run an estate with her husband Daniel “Robbie” Robinson.
They ran the Rra Ditau estate together which was described as “a warm-hearted bush retreat renowned for its peace and tranquility”.
Robbie died two years prior to the attack after a bout with cancer but Christine chose to remain in the country rather than return to the UK.
What happened to Christine Robinson?
Christine Robinson was murdered on July 30, 2014 in the 125-acre Rra-Ditau Lodge in the remote north of the country.
She was stabbed to death in a “gruesome” armed robbery and was found in a private wing of the lodge by a member of staff.
The police believed the suspect to be a Zimbabwean farmer who had fled for his home country after the attack.
Christine’s stabbed body was found bundled inside a duvet in August 2014, with fistfuls of money she had withdrawn to pay staff, stolen.
What happened after Christine’s death?
CCTV footage showed farmer Andrew Ndlovu heading for the Zimbabwean border.
Ndlovu subsequently changed his name to Andrea Imbayarwo to try and dodge arrest.
After police interest waned, Christine’s niece – Lehanne Sergison – took matters into her own hands to track down her aunt’s killer.
After setting up a fake Facebook account under the name Missy Falcao, Lehanne began exchanging flirty messages with the Zimbabwean.
Six years after her aunt’s death, Lehanne posted Imbayarwo’s photo to her account.
She captioned the post saying: “Six years ago today this man raped and murdered my aunt Christine Robinson.”
The post was shared 70,000 times and within hours Imbayarwo was tracked down to the grounds of his new employer before being arrested.
In April 2021, Ndlovu pleaded not guilty but was eventually handed two life sentences for murder and rape.
