Police are investigating a case of murder and house robbery after a woman was killed and her husband assaulted during a home invasion in Makhanda late last night.
South African Police Service spokesperson Sergeant Majola Nkohli said on Friday 3 September 2021 at around 10.30pm, two or more men armed with knives stormed into the Ngqawana Street, Vukani, home of Thokozile Chrisjan, 38, and attacked the couple.
Thokozile was fatally stabbed during the incident.
The men also stole two television sets and three cellphones before fleeing in the couple’s vehicle, Nkohli said. Their Nissan SUV was later found burnt on the Fort Beaufort Road outside Makhanda.
“The circumstances relating to the incident will form part of the investigation,” Nkohli said. “Police opened a case of murder with a second charge of house robbery for further investigation.
Anyone with information that could lead to the arrest of the suspects is urged to contact the investigating officer, Warrant Officer Nathan Gabriel on 082 301 9071 or 083 468 7063. Information may also be shared via Crime Stop 08600 10111.
