When the mother enquired as to why, the perpetrator stabbed her several times. Upon hearing the commotion, the daughter rushed to her mother’s defence and was also stabbed.
“The victims ran to their neighbours to seek help. The attacker followed them. He was accosted by angry community members,” said Lenasia SAPS spokesperson, Captain Hector Netshivhodza.
“The suspect is well known in the community and we request those with information on his whereabouts to come forward. All information will be treated in the strictest confidentiality,” Capt Netshivhodza said.
