THE bodies of two women who had been stabbed to death with a bread knife were found in Rosettenville, southern Johannesburg, on Wednesday afternoon, police reported. Superintendent Chris Wilken said on Thursday 66-year-old Ethal Joan Jenkins and her friend Dawn Attwood (55) were attacked by someone who entered the Daisy Road house through the garage and back door and overpowered them in the kitchen. There may have been more than one attacker. Jenkins’ husband, Dave Jenkins, left the house at 6.45am on Wednesday on his way to work. The women were then both alive. When Mr Jenkins arrived home he discovered the back gate and garage open, Wilken said. He found the bodies in the passage. Wilken said police suspect the motive for the attack was robbery as two TV sets, a hi-fi and Mr Jenkins’ car were taken. – Sapa
