“It is alleged that the suspect attempted to confront the lady but was intercepted by the lady’s husband. The suspect attacked the [husband] with a panga which belonged to the complainant and had apparently been in the garage,” von Benecke said.
The man then defended himself and shot and fatally wounded the suspect.
Police found the couple’s domestic worker’s cell phone in the intruder’s possession, von Benecke said.
“The identity and age of the intruder is unknown as he had no identification on him.”
A case of house robbery is being investigated and an inquest docket was also opened at the Sinoville police station.
Last month, an elderly man shot and killed a house robber in in the Allen Grove area of Kempton Park.
