A man was allegedly murdered in Parkmore on 19 July.
This according to deputy chairperson of the Parkmore Community Association, Kate Wardle, who said the details of the incident are still confusing.
She explained, “The gardener was murdered, but it may have been an argument that went wrong rather than a home invasion. The owners are abroad. I’m nervous about frightening people because this doesn’t seem like a typical home invasion.”
She added that a Jaguar was also stolen from the residence and was later recovered.
On the Parkmore Community Association Facebook page reports state that the incident allegedly occurred on 7th Street in the late afternoon.
Members of the association, the police, as well as the security company, 24/7, attended to the scene.
Spokesperson for Sandton police, Warrant Officer Moses Maphakela, has been contacted, but is yet to confirm the incident.
This is a developing story and more information will be revealed as it becomes available.
