"Lost Diamonds"

[georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP)]

I found an english report on Dr Corvinus ´s murder in Wikepedia

Returning from Nepal to settle down in Pune, India, where she had many old friends and owned estate, in January 2006 Dr Corvinus was found stabbed and beheaded in her apartment. The murderer, an estate agent named Iqbal Mohammad Sheikh who had helped her sell one of her flats, was identified and arrested by local police the very next day. He had visited Corvinus on the 1st of January and tried to force her to sign blank papers to gain legal power over her estate and bank accounts. When she refused he stabbed her, then cut off her head and took it with him in a plastic bag. It was later found in Kharadi some 10-12 km away under a bridge.

Friends, colleagues and relatives in Pune as well as Germany and Nepal and other countries, were shocked about this horrific murder. She had just completed her last work about Nepal, and had plans to continue researching with the local Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute in Pune.

Hi Michael,

I trust you are back in the land of the "Long Brown Dune" and very very happy that your team of Orange won - close game - but up the VRYSTAAT!!!

I have noticed on the "Lost Diamond" site that the death of Johnny Siebers Snr has not been mentioned.
As you know Johnny Siebers Snr was Rainer and Johnny Jnr father.

Johnny Siebers Snr passed away 1998.

Would you please include in Lost Diamonds.

Kind regards
Richard
