Four more people have been arrested for allegedly killing then setting alight an elderly woman who was accused of witchcraft in Sterkspruit, the Eastern Cape, on Sunday.
The 83-year-old woman was attacked by a mob that stormed onto her property and drowned her by shoving her head in a water-filled drum.
They also torched her rondavel. The mob then attacked the victim’s 23-year-old granddaughter. They also attempted to set her alight using paraffin.
The body of the elderly woman was found the following morning.
Police spokesperson Brigadier Tembinkosi Kinana earlier said residents believed the woman was responsible for the death of a young man in the area who was buried on Saturday.
