Woman's murder captured on CCTV

Johannesburg - The manager of a post office in Johannesburg was brutally murdered with a hammer on Saturday morning after she apparently surprised two robbers.

A part-time employee at the Highlands North post office in the Balfour Park shopping centre, in the northeast of Johannesburg, was presumably involved in the murder of Magda Frazer, 42.

Police spokesperson Phillip Maganedisa said security officials, who were watching on CCTV, thought nothing of it when they saw a man unlocking the back door of the post office.

"They identified the man as a post office worker and thought nothing of it."

Frazer's husband had dropped her at work at 06:30 that day and Maganedisa said she entered through the front door.

The robbers hadn't expected anyone to be there that early.

Mike Sears from the community policing organisation CAP said a client who later arrived at the post office and couldn't get in alerted the centre's security.

"Members of the CAP and the police also went to investigate and discovered Frazer's body.

Closed circuit television cameras in the post office filmed the murder, Sears said. The video shows Frazer being repeatedly beaten with a hammer.

One of the two men involved in the incident was identified as a part-time employee at the post office.

The video material shows the men entering the post office shortly after Frazer.

Maganedisa said the post office's safe was found open and empty. Frazer's personal belongings were also stolen.
