Lehanne Sergison was out for lunch with a friend when her phone<\/a> buzzed with an international number. Assuming it was her aunt Christine, who lived in South Africa<\/a>, she picked up, waiting to hear her cheerful Liverpudlian voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018Chris was adventurous and loved to travel,\u2019 Lehanne tells Metro from her London<\/a> home.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018She loved to chat; she\u2019d be next to somebody on the bus, and they\u2019d know her whole life story. She was very much an open book.\u2019<\/p>\n

Describing her aunt as \u2018warm and inspirational\u2019, while a little chaotic at times, Lehanne says that Chris, as she was known to family, was definitely someone who lived their life to the fullest. <\/p>\n

\u2018She was a great one for finding the good in life. She was fun-loving and had good energy,\u2019 Lehanne remembers.<\/p>\n

The popular school<\/a> teacher had never had children of her own and so would treat Lehanne like the daughter she never had. \u2018I was very close with her,\u2019 she shares.<\/p>\n

So when a voice over the phone delivered the horrific news in 2014<\/a> that Chris had been raped, stabbed and strangled in her game lodge home in Thabazimbi, Lehanne was astounded.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After making dazed calls to her family to let them know what happened, she later googled her aunt\u2019s name. <\/p>\n

Plastered across the internet was the excruciating reality that her lovely, generous aunt had been brutally murdered. Staff had found Christine Robinson\u2019s body on the floor, covered with a duvet and with a knife in her neck, and immediately called the police. Meanwhile, lodge gardener Andrew Ndlovu had vanished.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lehanne\u2019s first instinct was to travel from her London home to South Africa<\/a> to help in some way. However, it wasn\u2019t possible as Lehanne, who hadn\u2019t flown for 20 years, was chronically ill with severe asthma, so she was in and out of the hospital.<\/p>\n
