A 30-year-old domestic worker was found dead at her workplace in Glenvista south of Johannesburg, police said on Friday.

It is alleged that she was killed during a house break in on Biggersberg Road.

Residents returned home from work at 18:00 to find the home broken into and their domestic servant, who had been home alone, tied and gagged dead in a cupboard. It seems she died of suffocation.

Constable Michael Kgatla said the woman’s body was found in a cupboard on Thursday evening.

“The woman is from Lesotho. Her employer left her at the house in the morning and found her dead at 6pm.”

A murder docket has been opened.
