A Jeffreys Bay woman shot an intruder on her farm in Kabeljauws after the suspected armed robbers attacked and stabbed her in the head, according to police.
The 48-year-old woman was in the office next door to her home at around 20:30 on Friday when she heard noises outside the premises, police spokesperson Captain Gerda Swart said.
“Detectives from the South African Police Service in Jeffreys Bay are searching for an armed man after [he fled] from the scene,” Swart said. After the suspect ran away, the woman phoned her husband who alerted emergency services officials. She was treated for her injuries.
