Detectives from the police station in Fourways, Johannesburg, have yet to make any progress in the investigation of the ruthless murder of Priscilla du Toit.

Who is Priscilla du Toit?

Priscilla du Toit is a 42-year-old fitness guru. From the information we were able to dig up, it would appear that she was a renowned bodybuilder.

As a resident of Fourways, a quaint residential hub in northern Sandton, Priscilla du Toit was loved by many. A scroll down her Facebook profile showed nothing but testaments of her devotion to life.

She must have been a people’s person because every single post she published was well-received, more so because of her attractive physical features.

However, her family would come to reflect on a post she published on 25 September about the pain and grief everyone could not see beyond her captivating gaze.

By all accounts, she was not perfect but she masked her internal trauma well and people generally got along with her.

What we know about what happened to her

However, somewhere between Monday, 14 October and Thursday, 17 October, something tragic happened to Priscilla du Toit.

Due to the nature of the investigation, Fourways detectives have not published any information about the incident that took place at her residence. Neither is there any information on when the murder took place.

All we know, at this stage, is that the last post Priscilla du Toit published on Facebook, was on that Monday evening.

Based on a recently published Herald report, it is believed that an unknown number of suspects entered the 42-year-old’s residence and bludgeoned her to death.

The motive behind the brutal killing is something that detectives have yet to formally confirm. However, murmurs in the late fitness guru’s circle suggest that it may have been a burglary.

Furthermore, the results of her autopsy report were never made public but according to the cited publication, her killer — or killers — had bludgeoned her so bad, detectives and forensic pathologists would not allow her brother to identify her body.

Close friends pay tribute to a fallen fitness guru

Two weeks after her murder, there has been no news of arrests and it looks more likely that the case has stalled. Friends of Priscilla du Toit have been left with nothing but cherished memories she brought into their lives when she was still around.

This is a developing story.
