Durban - A 47-year-old man and a 55-year-old woman were strangled to death at their Phoenix home on Monday morning, KwaZulu-Natal police said.
Superintendent Muzi Mngomezulu said the pair, thought to be husband and wife, were strangled to death with a piece of wire and were found lying on the floor of their home in Grandmore, Phoenix at 04:00.
"We don't know how the intruder got in or whether anything was taken from the home," said Mngomezulu.
He said it was also unclear if there were any children inside the home at the time of the incident.
Police were investigating a double murder and the names of the victims would be released shortly, he said.
