CAPE TOWN <\/strong>– Police have opened a murder investigation after an 84-year-old man was found dead with his hands and feet bound at his Camps Bay residence on Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The victim’s daughter made the horrific discovery when she arrived at the property in Francolin Road at approximately 12:50 on Wednesday, 30 December 2025, according to Sergeant Wesley Twigg, police spokesperson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“According to reports the victim’s daughter arrived at his place of residence when she discovered his body with his hands and feet tied up,” Twigg said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The circumstances surrounding the elderly man’s death remain under investigation, with no arrests made at this stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent crime concerns in the area<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This latest incident follows another violent crime targeting an elderly resident in the upmarket suburb earlier this month. On 12 December, an 85-year-old man was assaulted during a house break-in at his home in Petrel Close when three armed suspects forced entry through a wooden sliding door in the early hours of the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During that incident, the homeowner was beaten and robbed of his firearm and cellphone after confronting the intruders. The victim sustained injuries to his face, body and legs but recovered after receiving medical treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
