The quiet suburb of West Beach in Table View has been rocked by the tragic murder of a 78-year-old woman in her own home last week. The shocking incident has left the community reeling as police investigate the circumstances surrounding her death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police confirmed the arrest of three Malawian nationals in connection with the crime and investigations are ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The victim, whose identity has not yet been released, was discovered by medical personnel who responded to the scene with police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Table View police spokesperson Capt Adriana Chandler reported that there were no signs of forced entry, and the only item reported stolen was the victim\u2019s Hyundai SUV, taken from her garage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen police officers arrived medical services were on the scene, who informed the officers that they found the 78-year-old woman, who had bruises to her body,\u201d Chandler told the newspaper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Residents in the area are in a panic, demanding more police visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJust a few weeks ago we had an incident of cars being stolen in the area,\u201d said West Beach resident Illana Fourie. \u201cUrgent action from police is needed, now more than ever. What happened to the sweet lady is such a tragic incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are no longer safe, not even in our own homes.\u201d She told TygerBurger<\/span> the news of the murder quickly circulated on WhatsApp chat groups. \u201cThe community is devastated and we are now living in fear.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nAnother resident told the newspaper it is time residents stand together to protect their area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
