NATIONAL NEWS - A Centurion couple was stabbed to death and a teenager injured in a brutal home invasion on Monday evening.
According to police spokesperson Captain Johan van Dyk, the double murder and house robbery occurred in the Lyttelton area on the evening of Monday at approximately 20:19.
“The Lyttelton SAPS Detective Service established that the suspect’s modus operandi involved identifying homes listed for sale, approaching the owners, and making contact under the guise of being a prospective buyer.
“On the day of the murder, the suspect arranged to meet with the homeowner. Once inside the house, the suspect executed his robbery plan. Tragically, the occupants resisted, and during the altercation, the suspect, armed with a firearm and a knife, fatally stabbed two victims, who succumbed to their injuries on the scene.”
He said members of the Community Policing Forum (CPF), private security, and SAPS immediately responded to the scene, and all necessary forensic teams were deployed to process the evidence.
Cert-SA said in a post on Facebook that the Centurion CERT crew responded to the tragic home invasion incident at a residential property in Lyttelton Manor Centurion.
“Upon arrival, our team found two critically injured patients lying outside the home, where members of the local CPF and community were rendering aid. Sadly, a man and a woman, both in their forties, succumbed to their injuries and were pronounced deceased at the scene.”
