Prominent journalists, friends and relatives who knew veteran photojournalist and TV newsman John Rubython crammed into Cape Town’s St George’s cathedral on Thursday to pay their last respects. Rubython (58) was stabbed to death in his Woodstock home early on Monday morning by a young burglar. Rubython’s partner, Melanie Junker, and their three-month-old baby, Marie-Hlen, were unharmed. Rubython fearlessly faced dangerous news situations including riots and bomb blasts. In 1983 he set up the Cape Town Press Centre. Police have arrested a 14-year-old boy in connection with the murder. Detectives seized a blood-stained knife from him and have sent it for forensic testing.
