Police are investigating a case of murder after a popular Gqeberha physiotherapist was stabbed in the early hours of yesterday, and later died from her injuries in hospital, reports News24.
Neighbours heard screams and breaking glass and found Marolien Schmidt (40) lying on the floor, bleeding. She was taken to hospital but died shortly afterwards.
Schmidt, who lived in Richmond Hill, worked at the Walmer Wellness Centre.
Captain Sandra Janse van Rensburg said an intruder had apparently gained entrance to the property by breaking a side window.
