In a separate incident late last year, a similar tragedy unfolded in Ka Petsa village, Limpopo, where a 50-year-old woman was found dead in her home on November 30, 2024.
Colonel Malesela Ledwaba, spokesperson for the Limpopo police, shared that the woman had been alone in her house while her husband was away performing casual work. When he returned home, he found the doors locked but used his spare key to enter. Inside, he discovered food prepared for him, which he ate before going to sleep, unaware of the tragic discovery that awaited him the next morning.
Further investigation revealed that the couple lived on the same property but in separate houses. Police later made arrests in connection with the case and believe that a local man, familiar to the victim and often seen around her home, could provide crucial information to assist in resolving the investigation.
Both cases have left communities in shock and raised concerns about safety and security. Authorities continue to work diligently to uncover the truth and bring justice to the victims and their families.
