Two men are expected to appear in Simonstown Magistrate court on charges of Murder and House Robbery on Monday, in DisaWay, Noordhoek.
An au pair returned home with four children to discover the body of the domestic worker, 21-year-old Mary Kamanga from Masiphumelele, lying in her bedroom.
It is said that her hands and feet were tied to the bed with a rope and she had a rope around her neck. Kamanga had no visible open wounds.
The au pair allegedly noticed three strange men walking with bags from the back yard towards the front.
Police spokesperson Inspector Bernadine Steyn says that the suspects took a cell phone, jewellery, CD’s, and wine valued at about R50 000.
The suspects fled the scene in a white Volkswagen Passat.
Steyn says that one of the suspects, a 36-year-old man was arrested at his house in Delft South.
Police confiscated the alleged escape vehicle at the man’s house.
Another suspect, 36 year old was later arrested at his house in Wonderboom Street, Delft South.
Police are still looking for the third suspect.
Anyone with information can contact the Investigating Officer, Sergeant Chris Cloete at the Fishhoek Police station on 021 782 6333 or Crime Stop on 08600 10111.
