Police spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Paul Magwaza, said that, according to her, the men demanded money.
The woman explained how, when they were told that there was no money, they fired shots at her 45-year-old fiancé, killing him.

When they got to the main house, they shot and killed a woman (67) and her two daughters, aged in their 30s.
