Constable Sharon Tsotsotso of Sebenza SAPS told the NEWS the woman was allegedly killed by a contractor installing cupboards in her home.
The woman was tied up, strangled and her wrists cut.
Cst Tsotsotso said the woman’s daughter became worried when she could not get hold of her mother when she phoned her mom.
“She decided to drive to her mother’s house to check on her. When she arrived, her car was not there and she assumed her mother was not home. When she returned later she became suspicious when she saw people waiting for her mother outside and called security.”
