After returning from a trip after midnight, the family found unwelcome guests in their home.

Angela Laidlaw, Stephanie’s sister, was quoted by rnnews.co.za.

“Jayden heard something was wrong, after which he went to investigate. When he walked into the bedroom door, he saw three armed men standing by his parents’ bed.

“He ran to the kitchen and grabbed a broom to hit one of the thugs with it. However, they then pounced on him and started stabbing him with knives they found in the kitchen,” says an emotional Laidlaw.

“They literally attacked him mercilessly with knives,” she says.
