  • Johannesburg - An Alberton man was bludgeoned to death with a hammer on Tuesday morning and his gardener has been detained for questioning, police said.

    The man's girlfriend was also attacked and is in hospital in a stable condition, said Captain Steady Nawa.

    Three men attacked the couple while they were asleep at about 04:00 at their house in Martina Oosthuizen Street.

    "The suspects allegedly used a key to gain entry as there was no sign of forced entry. The man was bludgeoned to death with a hammer and his girlfriend was also injured," said Nawa.

    The victim's 40-year-old gardener has been detained for questioning but no arrests have been made.

    Anyone with more information may contact the Alberton police.
