How Charlize Therons father died..

source

From the book, Deadly Women: When Passion Turns To Blood, by Chris Karsten.

The statement by Charlize reads:
“I, Miss Charlize Theron, a 15-year-old white female of Plot 56, Third Avenue, Cloverdene, (of) Die Kruin High School, Johannesburg, Standard 8, hereby declare the following:
“My mother went to ask my father for the key. I could hear that he was aggressive towards her.
“I then heard my father’s brother, Danie Theron, ask him: ‘Why do you take shit from her?’
“Then someone banged on the kitchen door. I told my mom that it was my dad, and that I was afraid of him.”
Charlize then sketches the events immediately before the shooting.
Her mother opened the door to her father and they quarrelled about the security gate being locked.
Her statement reads: “My father said he would kill us with his shotgun. My mom said she was afraid that he really would kill us.
“The next moment I heard a number of shots being fired. I don’t know how many, and then I heard my mom screaming? hysterically.
“When I went into the passage, I saw my father’s brother, Danie Theron, standing in the passage.
“My mom was sitting in a corner of the bedroom. I ran to her and asked: ‘What happened?’
“My mother was crying and she said: ‘Charlize, I’ve shot them. I’ve shot them.’
“I can only state that my mother had not had any alcohol at any stage. She was sober.”

Quite a story, isn't it? Charlize has lived a life far beyond her years and overcome. So has her mother.
