An elderly woman was killed in her home in the east of Pretoria at the weekend.
A Meyerspark resident, who asked not to be named, said the elderly woman who lives a few houses away from her, was alone when she was attacked by an unknown number of men on Saturday afternoon around 16:00.
“The men broke into the elderly woman’s home and fled in her white Nissan Sentra.”
It is not yet clear why or how the woman was killed.
Police arrived at the woman’s home in Odendaal Street shortly after the attack.
She said it was unclear who contacted them.
“They knocked on the door, but when there was no response they left,” said the resident.
A second unit of police officers arrived a while later. They gained entry into the home and found the woman’s body.
The resident said the police were still at the scene by nightfall.
Police could not be reached at time of publishing, but more information would follow.
