Hazyview - A man who raped a woman last year, returned to the house to rape her and kill her husband this week.
He and an accomplice stabbed the woman's 80-year-old husband to death before raping her.
The couple was attacked at Mthembu farm near Hazyview in Mpumalanga at about 13:00 on Sunday.
The suspects had entered the couple's home and demanded money, said Hazyview police spokesperson Constable Mpho Koli on Wednesday.
"His wife said the men started assaulting them and then stabbed her husband in the back when he tried to get away," she said.
She said the woman recognised one of the suspects as being the same man who raped her in November last year when she was alone at home.
He was never arrested.
Koli said police were still investigating the initial rape case, as well as a case of murder and rape for the incident on Sunday.
Anyone who knows the whereabouts of the suspects is asked to call Hazyview police on (013) 737 7328 or Constable Mpho Koli on 079 891 4994.
