“A 68-year-old man, who relies on a portable life-support machine due to a lung condition, was stabbed during a house robbery at Marloth Park in Komatipoort on Saturday, June 7. The criminals made off with more than R300 000 worth of property. According to the Mpumalanga police spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Jabu Ndubane, the elderly man was at home with his wife (64) at about 20:00 when he heard a knock outside. “After checking and seeing no one, he continued to hear the knocking. As he walked around inside the house to investigate, three unknown men entered the house through the bedroom door, which they had forced open. “One suspect was armed with a gun, another with a knife and the third appeared unarmed. The old man was stabbed during the incident and pushed onto the bed by one suspect, while another suspect held his wife at gunpoint and demanded money,” said Ndubane.” - Chris Smit, 2025/06/13
