Johannesburg - A 41-year-old woman was shot dead in Kuwait at Nelson Mandela Bay by three men, Eastern Cape police said on Thursday.
The men went into the woman's house in Phakamisa looking for the husband to help them with their car at about 19:00 on Wednesday.
When they were informed that the husband was not around they shot the woman in her back, said Captain Thozama Solani.
"The men ordered the children to go to their rooms and when the woman asked them what they were doing they shot her.
"Nothing was taken from the house. It appears as if they wanted to kill the wife and the husband," said Solani.
The woman died on the scene and no one was injured.
Police were investigating a case of murder and anyone with information was urged to call 040 655 1390.
