Woman critical after Gauteng farm attack

A 64-year-old woman is in a critical condition following an attack on her farm on the Kalbasfontein Road between Carletonville and the Vaal in Gauteng on Friday night, paramedics said.

When ER24 paramedics arrived on the scene they found that local authorities, along with local farmers and the community policing forum (CPF), were already in attendance, ER24 spokesman Russel Meiring said.

“Paramedics were led into the residence past the bodies of three dogs that had been apparently shot. Once in the home, paramedics found the woman lying in a small pool of blood.

“Upon assessment paramedics found that the woman had sustained a serious head injury as well as serious lacerations to both her wrists. Paramedics also found numerous penetration wounds to both of the patient’s feet.”

Paramedics treated the woman and provided her with several advanced life support interventions. Once treated the woman was rushed to Mediclinic Vereeniging for urgent treatment.

“The details surrounding this incident are not yet known but local authorities were on the scene to conduct an investigation,” Meiring said.
