Parkview radiologist Jennifer Butters, 55, murdered at home in fierce struggle: nothing robbed October 3 2014 - JOHANNESBURG – Gauteng police are investigating the death of a 55-year-old woman who was murdered in her Parkview home. Jennifer Butters was stabbed to death on Wednesday night but police say nothing was taken from her home. Butters worked as a radiologist at the Netcare Linksfield Hospital and was alone at the time of the attack. The hospital at the moment is under siege by health workers demanding higher wages, as are most other hospitals in south Africa at the moment in an ongoing campaign by the Health Workers Union. It's not known whether these two matters are linked, but there is an atmosphere of unrest around the hospital premises. Police say she managed to press her panic button but security officials could not reach the house soon enough. Police Sergeant Lloyd Ramovha says, “She had a stab wound to her neck and the whole house had blood all over which pointed to a possible struggle. But nothing seems to be missing in the house, everything looks intact. She graduated from the University of Cape Town in 1984. http://www.humanities.uct.ac.za/fhs/alumni/reunions/roundup/2009/1984class http://ewn.co.za/2014/10/03/Netcare-staff-devastated-by-colleagues-murder http://www.facebook.com/boerekrisisaksie ================== SouthAfrica, Radiologist, 55, found stabbed to death: nothing robbed: Donegal Avenue home http://rosebankkillarneygazette.co.za/145047/breaking-news-woman-stabbed-death-parkview/ The SA police said the security company, ADT received a panic alarm from the Donegal Avenue home.
