Pretoria - A 41-year-old man was killed on a farm in Boschkop, Pretoria on Wednesday morning, paramedics said.
The man was found lying in a pool of blood at around 07:45, said Netcare 911 spokesperson Chris Botha.
He said the man had been attacked with a sharp object.
Paramedics attempted to resuscitate him, but he died from his wounds on the scene.
Gauteng police spokesperson Warrant Officer Marinda Stoltz said police could not yet determine the cause of the man's death.
Brutally attacked
"He was brutally attacked but we can't confirm the details yet."
She said at around 07:00 an unknown number of men attacked the man who rented a house on the plot.
The men barricaded the domestic worker in a bedroom and took the man into another bedroom.
The man's 2-year-old child was in the house but was unharmed.
Stoltz said during the robbery there was a struggle and a number of shots were fired.
"Several shots were fired but we don't know who fired the shots or who was shot... that's why we have to wait to confirm the cause of death."
Traumatised
Police were investigating a case of house robbery and murder.
It was also unclear what was taken from the home.
The domestic worker was unharmed but extremely traumatised and left the scene with her family and friends.
