Neighbours saddened by death of 73 year old killed in Frenches house fire

Neighbours of an elderly man who rallied together over the years to provide care and meals have described as regrettable, the manner in which he died.
Seventy three year old Angelus Robertson burnt to death in a house fire after his life-long Frenches home caught on fire on Thursday, February 6, 2025.

Neighbours told SEARCHLIGHT that the man was visually impaired and also suffered from mental challenges. The DeFreitas family who reside next to Robertson, and other neighbours from the area would take turns providing meals for the now deceased and also ensured that he kept up his hygiene.

“We call him Beeps. We cooked for him and made sure he got his baths. This whole thing is just sad.”

The neighbours said when the fire engulfed the residence, they launched into action to prevent it from spreading to their property.
