A woman who was only just having a bath in the bathroom, has ended up getting killed in the process, right inside her house.
The window through which the bullet passed
Residents of Serope, outside Mabopane, northern Tshwane, South
Africa are currently living in fear because of the increase in armed and
house robberies they’ve experienced in the past month.
According to Daily Sun SA, the latest shocking incident happened on
Saturday night when a woman identified as Patricia Manana (41) was shot
dead in her house.
An unknown man allegedly shot her through the bathroom window while
she was having a bath. The bullet hit her behind her right ear and she
immediately fell to the ground.
Her son Thabiso (21) said he was in the kitchen when the incident
took place. He said it was about 10pm when he heard a loud bang coming
from the bathroom.
Thabiso said he thought the sound came from the toilet seat lid falling down but he rushed to check what had happened.
“My mum was lying in a pool of blood.”
Thabiso said he took a towel and tried to stop the bleeding but it
was too late. Patricia was rushed to hospital but was certified dead on
arrival.
Thabiso told Daily Sun that he was still traumatised by what he had seen.
“I don’t know how I’ll ever feel safe again. The killer should
have come inside the house and stolen what he wanted instead of shooting
my mother.”
Residents believe the killer was behind last week’s shooting in which two teenagers were shot and robbed of their cellphones.
They suspect that the same man was also behind the killing of a paramedic.
The paramedic was shot while buying food with his colleague and his cellphone was stolen.
A resident said the robberies in their area were alarming. and that they don’t know how to protect themselves anymore.
“We live in fear because the killer is among us and the cops can’t catch him.”
Captain Rheineth Motlana, Mabopane police spokeswoman, said a case of murder has been opened but no arrest has been made.
