Man wanted in connection with farm attack
Seun Mthimunye has been identified as a person of interest that can help with information about the farm attack in Roossenekal on 24 August.
Two women, Gina Otto and Moeka Gravina, were attacked shortly after arriving at Mrs Otto’s house. The women were tortured for hours before they were loaded into Mrs Otto’s car and dumped next to the road, underway to Lydenburg.
Mrs Otto was found by a passing truck driver on Friday night whilst police found Mrs Gravina next to the road the following morning. Both women were injured and required medical attention.
Their two attackers proceeded to Lydenburg where they picked up two sex workers in Mrs Otto’s car. Police attempted to pull them over, resulting in a shootout.
One man, Petros Mpho Sithole (32), was fatally wounded in the shootout.
