Carjackers kill honeymoon woman, 28

POLICE in South Africa yesterday launched a murder hunt after a honeymoon couple from the UK were attacked in a carjacking incident.

The 28-year-old woman was with her husband of just two weeks when their people carrier was targeted in a township on the outskirts of Cape Town.

Two gunmen drove off with the newlyweds inside the car, and although the man was later released unharmed, the woman's body was found yesterday morning.
