A 25-year-old man was at home with his girlfriend who was doing a friend’s nails on Friday (25/8) in the afternoon when three unknown men entered the house. It is alleged that an unidentified man entered the home, followed by two other men, and a gun was pointed at the victim.

“One of the men demanded money and threatened to murder him if he didn't cooperate with them, just like they had done to other people in the past. These three men then kidnapped him, and an undisclosed amount of money was also taken,” said Free State police spokesperson, Mmako Mophiring.
