KNYSNA NEWS - A Narnia Village woman was viciously attacked by a man she called a "yellow-eyed animal", who tried to bite the rings off her fingers on Sunday morning 19 November.
A shaken Ethne Hillhouse this week said her sunny morning turned into a sudden brush with death when the man appeared from nowhere.
She referred to him as an animal because, she said, he never made a sound throughout the ordeal, even when he rushed up behind her as she was taking out the garbage to the outside bin and proceeded to terrorise her.
Narnia Village is a small community that has about 40 houses and the residents know each other.
The fence cannot be climbed or cut, which makes this attack even more frightening, she said, because it is not known how the attacker entered the property.
Reflecting on the events, the 62-year-old said, “My husband and I were sitting in the courtyard and then he left to visit friends who stay three houses away.
"I went inside the house to put something in the bathroom and when I came out, I picked up the garbage and went outside to put it in the outside bin."
This is when the horror began.
