A Pretoria woman was hacked to death and her domestic worker seriously injured in what has been described by police as one of the Pretoria's most brutal murders yet.
Rashida Ahmed, 49, was at her home in Laudium on Monday when two men forced their way inside.
Locking themselves inside the house, the men, who are believed to have been armed with a spade and a panga, overpowered Ahmed's domestic worker, Sara Malatji, before they attacked Ahmed, who was in her bedroom.
Police sources say the men, over the period of about an hour, repeatedly hit Ahmed over the head, shoulders neck and chest as they dragged her around the house demanding money. The house was ransacked by the killers, including the ceiling, of which the hatch was discovered open.
Maybe the self protection units had the right idea. It is high time we take back the streets from the animals that have robbed us of our right to security. You can basically do whatever the hell you like and be assured you will get away with it.
