The elite False Bay suburb of Gordon’s Bay is still in shock today after a gang of nine men went on a killing spree, leaving a 78-year-old woman dead. The gang apparently broke into the home of Johanna Retief van Aarde in Milnerton Road and beat her to death. The gang then moved to a neighbour’s home where they assaulted three men and a pregnant woman for more than three hours. Police says one of the attackers raped the pregnant woman twice and then stabbed the home owner in the back before fleeing in a bakkie. They stole thousands of rands and virtually all the clothing in the house. Four suspects have been arrested, one of them a 14-year-old who is believed to be the rapist.
Meanwhile, the body of a 74-year-old man has been found in his home in William Street, Parow in the Cape Peninsula. A neighbour found the murdered man with his feet tied and a tie around his neck. No sign of forced entry could be found. Police have launched a full investigation.
Anyone with information is asked to contact crime-stop on 08600-10111.
