Cape Town - Author Winnie Rust appeared worried about the safety of her neighbourhood the day before her murder, the Wellington community police forum chairperson said on Friday.
The 76-year-old was among locals who attended a meeting to finalise arrangements for a newly-established neighbourhood watch in Old Uitsig on Tuesday and asked a number of questions, Hester de Kock told News24.
"She was concerned, as there have been a number of attempted burglaries at the surrounding homes. She and her husband lived alone in a big house," she said.
