Woman critically injured in Gauteng farm attack
An elderly woman who was attacked on her farm in the Kalbasfontein area between Carletonville and the Vaal last night, appears to have been tortured.
According to police spokesperson Lungelo Dlamini, the attackers overpowered the woman at the farm gate, before she was forced into the house and stabbed repeatedly.
"She was attacked by two men for whom police have launched a manhunt," says Dlamini.
She was allegedly tortured with electrical appliances.
The suspects fled in the victim's car, which was later recovered.
