Reported by journalist Stefan de Villiers 20 March 2014 22:10 -- The Lowvelder: http://lowvelder.co.za/60559/bejaarde-vrou-op-plaas-aangeval-met-strykyster-gebrand/
NELSPRUIT Family and friends of tortured attack-victim Mrs Christine Otto, 75 are furious at the brutal torture she had to endure for hours at the hands of a three-member black male gang who attacked her outside her Burnside, Nelspruit home, dragged her inside, tied her to the shower
and tortured for hours: amongst others with a hot iron. She was ambushed at 09h00 while walking to her car, planning to attend a friend's funeral.
The blacks insisted that she had to have a gun-safe and would not accept her word that there wasn't any gun-safe in her home.
The attackers went into a bout of horrific violence against the Afrikaner woman: they whipped her, repeatedly burnt her with a hot iron, and hit her in the face with their fists.
They kept torturing her until she gave them keys. It is believed according to the journalist, that the men must have been watching her for a long time.
In an attempt to scare them off she said she wasn't alone in the house but they replied: "We know your husband is dead'.
uis is nie, waarop een se reaksie was: “Moenie vir ons jok nie, ons weet jou man is dood.”
Eventually they left with three firearms, her blue Kia Picanto and jewellery. They left her tied to the shower.
She was only able to get herself loose and call HiTech Security in Nelspruit, and a paramedic and reaction officials rescued her at 18h00.
The SAPS was also called but after waiting for more than an hour they failed to show.
Otto - described by a tiny no-nonsense woman, initially refused to go to hospital but was convinced to be taken to Nelmed hospital where she was treated.
She told her family: "I was going to a funeral but it was almost time for my own funeral'.
She is now at the home of her daughter Mrs Estelle Conroy.
