The tragedy happened when a worker underwent a polygraph test at the BP diesel depot<\/a> in connection with diesel theft.<\/p>\n

When the test indicated that he was lying, the man admitted to stealing and promised to explain in detail how he did if, after he is given a chance to go to the bathroom.<\/p>\n

The man returned and shot Cindy Swanepoel (36)<\/a> in front of polygraph operator Corne Botha (30). Mrs Botha fled outside and alerted the police with the help of a community member.<\/p>\n

Two other female colleagues hid under their office desks until they were ordered to go outside by the shooter.<\/p>\n

He was arrested shortly after the incident and will appear in the Belfast Magistrate Court tomorrow on charges of murder, attempted murder <\/a>and the possession of an illegal firearm and ammunition.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Swanepoel was the mother of two boys aged 10 and 11 and married to Martin Swanepoel.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Botha spoke exclusively to www.mobserver.co.za about the ordeal. Her interview will be published later.<\/p>\n
