According to Daily Mail, an
eighty-six year-old nun was brutally gang-raped and murdered, the incident
happened when Gertrud Tiefenbacher was in her bedroom in South Africa.
An Austrian immigrant, the
elderly woman had her hands tied with a typewriter cord and her face covered
with a towel.
Another nun discovered the
victim’s body in Ixopo, the town located 85 miles south-west of Durban.
While the results of
forensic tests are yet expected, it has been alleged that the woman had been
suffocated. A small amount of money was reportedly stolen from the room.
Her friend Betty Firmstone
told South Africa’s Daily News:
“I met Sister in 1952 when
I started teaching at a school attached to the mission. We worked very closely
together. She loved her work with children.
“This really was an act of
savagery against a gentle, caring soul.”
Sister Gerald, who lives at
the mission, said Sister Gertrud had dedicated her life to helping impoverished
children and adolescents.
“She had a very kind heart
and was loved by everyone.”
Major Thulani Zwane, police
spokesman, said there were no signs of forced entry into the room adding that
the number of assaulters was “unclear”.
“We are following all
leads. We are also appealing to the community to come forward with any
information.
