He found a sliding door ajar and, after calling out and receiving no answer, entered one of the bedrooms where he discovered the body of a 75-year-old male with his hands and feet bound. The person was declared dead at the scene.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-police-confirm-murder-investigation\">Police confirm murder investigation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Chandler confirmed the house was in a state of disarray and all relevant role-players were summoned to process the scene. \u201cA case of murder is being investigated,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ward 113 councillor Sue van der Linde expressed deep sadness following the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am deeply saddened by the tragic incident that took place in Sceptre Crescent, Flamingo Vlei,\u201d she said. &#8220;My heartfelt condolences go out to the family, neighbours and loved ones of the 75-year-old resident whose life was so brutally taken.

decision to investigate further ensured the matter was discovered and escalated without delay,\u201d she noted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Van der Linde urged residents &#8211; particularly the elderly &#8211;
