Solik deaths leave huge void in Midlands community
A close friend of Roger and Christine Solik says their deaths are a huge loss to the Midlands community.
The couple was brutally murdered last month after being taken from their home in Nottingham Road during a robbery.
Their bodies were found in the Inzinga River near Impendle – some 70-kilometres away – following the ordeal.

Speaking to Newswatch, the friend - who did not want to be named - said those close to the couple were praying for swift justice.
"I'm hugely relieved that they do finally have a suspect, and hopefully from there, justice to be served," she said.
The woman says the Solik's death has been a "huge loss" to the community - who are still reeling from the brutal murders.
"They were just one of the most beautiful families, and it's totally a huge loss to the Nottingham Road community as well," she said.
She’s hopeful more arrests will be made soon.
Police have arrested one person in connection with the crime. The man appeared in the Howick Magistrate’s Court last week.
