A 62-year-old woman has been arrested in Mopye village outside Tzaneen in Limpopo after she allegedly killed her 82-year-old neighbour on Friday.

ATTACKED

Limpopo police spokesperson Brigadier Hlulani Mashaba said they were alerted about a murder incident and rushed to the scene. Upon arrival, they were pointed out to an elderly female victim lying on her back in a pool of blood. According to Mashaba, preliminary investigations revealed that the deceased was hit multiple times on the forehead with a sharp object and instantly died at the scene after sustaining severe open wounds.

SHE JUST WANTED TO GREET

Mashaba said it's reported that the deceased went to her neighbour's home intending to greet other individuals that were inside the yard of the suspect. "Unexpectedly, she was attacked and brutally murdered by a 62-year-old female suspect," Mashaba said. He added that the suspect was immediately arrested at the scene and is expected to appear before the Bolobedu Magistrate tomorrow on a charge of murder.
