AN elderly couple were tied up and stabbed to death in Meerdale, south of Johannesburg, early on Wednesday evening, police said.
Security company guards, responding to a panic button activation, went to the couple’s house and found the door open and the two bodies inside, Inspector Dennis Adriao said.
Laurence Mustoe (70) had been tied up in a chair in the spare room. He had multiple stab wounds in the chest and neck. In the main bedroom, his wife, Monica (73) was found. She had also been stabbed to death.
Two cellphones, a TV and small appliances were missing from the house, as well as a white Toyota Tazz (MNB158GP).
There were no signs of a forced entry and police say it is possible the couple knew their killers. – Sapa
