I guess this is nothing new. How many times must we see headlines such as this?
I'm with Cele on this point "Shoot to kill". Criminals like these we have in SA shouldn't have rights.
An elderly Wartburg farm owner and her son are recovering in hospital after surviving a brutal attack at the hands of six armed men on Tuesday night.
They were beaten with knobkerries, asphyxiated with plastic bags and doused with boiling water.
Police spokesperson Warrant Officer Joey Jeevan said the men pounced on Barbara Wortmann, 76, and her son Etcel, 45, armed with handguns and knobkerries.
“It is alleged that the men demanded money and proceeded to assault both victims. They also poured boiling water from a kettle on both victims,” said Jeevan.
Horst Wortmann, the oldest son, who lives in Durban, described the attack as “callous and savage”.
“It is a senseless attack on an elderly woman. My brother is harmless and non-aggressive. They were beaten quite severely,” he told The Witness.
