The childhood home of actress Charlize Theron is the scene of yet another tragedy.
At the age of 15, the actress witnessed her mother, Gerda Maritz, shoot and kill her abusive, alcoholic father, Charles Theron, while acting in self-defense. Now, more than two decades later the home is once again the site of a brutal death.
The home’s owner, Barry Newland, was reportedly tortured and murdered inside the home in Benoni, near Johannesburg, South Africa, on Sept. 5, by five men who broke into his home, according to The Daily Mail.
The robbers were let in to Newland’s home by his girlfriend, after they pretended to be interested in viewing her car, which was up for sale. His girlfriend left, and the gang waited for him to arrive home. Police told South African newspaperIndependent News that the robbers forced Newland inside the bathroom, tied up his hands and feet and placed a plastic bag over his head, and left him to suffocate. Police also say the man was tortured, as his body suffered burns from cigarettes and a clothes iron.
The property is once again marred by tragedy, and Theron refused to talk about the horror she witnessed for years, admitting that she used to lie and say her father died in a car crash, rather than rehash her painful past. MORE
