Voteck Popiel

We have just heard that Voyteck was bludgeoned to death on the 28 of March. he was a respected member of the plant community with a wealth of knowledge on plants and especially aloes. he was also very knowledgeable in the field of semi precious stones.

I spoke to his wife Dorothy this morning and she told me that they were attacked by men who came through the toilet window. they attacked Dorothy and then proceeded to the bedroom where Voyteck was - he was very ill and he could not defend himself and so they killed him!!!

We are devastated as he was a good friend and a very kind and gentle person. What are we coming to???

His memorial will be in their garden on 31 May
