A 65-year old woman, believed to be a cashier, was discovered with her throat slit in a shop in West Street in what police believe to be a robbery last week Tuesday.
“Police were called to a scene at about 8am where they found the body of a woman in the office of the store. Her throat was slit and she had several bruises,” said Capt Jethro Mtshali, Kempton Park SAPS spokesman.
According to Mtshali, security officers responded to a panic button that was pressed and they arrived to find the body and called the police.
“At this point we are not certain if there was anything taken as we are investigating the matter and we appeal to the public to come forward with information to assist with the case,” he said.
If you have information that can assist the police contact Det W/O Jan Makhura 082-787-7606.
