Pretoria - A 60-year-old Pretoria woman and her 86-year-old mother were murdered in their home in Dorandia, north of Pretoria on Sunday morning, police said.
Inspector Anton Breedt said Madalene Bredahann, the daughter and granddaughter of the victims, heard someone outside her bedroom door just before 05:00 and escaped from the house through a window.
Breedt said she returned to the house after a short while and found her mother, Elma Bredahann, and grandmother, Albertina Wambach, lying in a pool of blood in the main bedroom.
He said it appeared that the two women had been beaten on their heads with a sharp object.
It was not clear if anything had been taken from the house.
No arrests have been made.
