CAPE TOWN – Fish Hoek police are investigating the murder of a 22-year-old woman whose body was found at her residence in Echo Street, Fish Hoek, on Friday morning 7 November.
Police spokesperson Sgt Wesley Twigg confirmed she had sustained serious injuries to her body.
“The circumstances surrounding the incident are under investigation and arrests have yet to be made.”
Andre Blom, chair of The Fish Hoek Community Policing Forum (CPF), tells People’s Post that break-ins and robberies are not the “norm” in the area and there should be no cause to panic.
“Crime patterns in Fish Hoek have over the past months shown a decline over most categories. It is very unfortunate that the alleged murder happened within our police precinct. Unfortunately everywhere in our country one has to be vigilant at all times,” he said.
Blom urges residents to keep their windows and doors protected with burglar bars and security gates and to set their alarm and have it tested often.
“Install perimeter beams where possible and affordable. Join your local neighbourhood watch and become active eyes and ears. Report any incidents and if you are the eyewitness open a case with the police. If any lack of service from our police is encountered please contact the Fish Hoek CPF. Details are on our website and Face Book page,” he said.
