A woman was murdered during a house robbery in Iphala Road at about 11.30am on Wednesday, 13 August.
According to police, two men, one armed with a knife, entered the premises by jumping over the wall and tied up the woman and her husband with scarves and electrical cables.
When the woman starting screaming, she was strangled, before the robbers fled in the couple’s Hyundai Atos.
The man managed to free himself by biting through his bonds before sounding the alarm.
Toti SAPS and the Metro Police dog unit were on the scene and a helicopter was dispatched to try and trace the stolen vehicle.
UPDATE: Robbers responsible for woman’s murder chased down by police.
R.I.P lady.
These barbarians should be hung for this…
This gives us trust in the SAPS. Well done done Guys
It is indeed sad and unacceptable that people being targets for criminals. Its high time the government need to take drastic measures to deal with the situation. Talk is cheap and is there to value to a life today? I think families who are victims of losing loved ones in such a situation should sue the government for not doing enough to curb this violent behaviour. Or maybe even an eye for an eye. Sorry but this is only my opinion
Please sad but Please when they tell you to be quiet listen to them. My life and family have been spared by doing as they say. Our lives are worth more than matarial things. Sorry for the lose of another life :'(
This is disgusting. Note that the local SAPS did catch 1 of 3 guys and I commend them for that. Of course the FAST FLYING SQUAD could not attend because they claim they never had a car. No car for police but JZ and King Goodwill get home extensions and renovations of around R400 million. Guess who SHOULD be in jail.
