While at home in the Makause informal settlement, last Friday, a man heard someone knocking on his door.
“Before he could respond he saw the door falling to the floor,” said communications officer for the Primrose police, Sgt Styles Maome.
“He claimed his 33-year-old neighbour was on the other side of the door and began shouting at him and threatening to kill him.”
