Pregnant mum hacked to death as she slept and husband savagely stabbed in front of son, 2, in South Africa beach

Karen Turner, 31, who was three months pregnant, was sleeping with her husband Matthew, 33, and their toddler son Hayden when they were attacked at about 3am on Tuesday.

Karen Turner, 31, who was three months pregnant, was sleeping with her husband Matthew, 33, and their toddler son Hayden when they were attacked at about 3am on Tuesday.

Matthew was stabbed repeatedly as he lay beside his wife at the Hluleka Nature Reserve in the Eastern Cape province of the country.

Two men armed with knives sneaked into their self-contained lodge overlooking the beach.
It is believed school teacher Karen, from Underberg, about three hours west of Durban, died almost instantly in a hail of knife blows while Matthew managed to fight back.

Karen’s unborn child was killed in the frenzied attack. Her 23-month-old son Hayden survived and was uninjured.

It is unclear what the motive was for the horrific murder.

The vicious attack comes just days before Prince Harry is due to fly into South Africa with his wife Meghan and son Archie.

They are taking their baby son on a tour to visit Harry’s “favourite place in the world” but where crime is spiralling out of control with over 21,000 murders and 45,000 rapes carried out last year.

 SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!
