Woman found on roadside with 30 stab wounds, clutching her throat and intestines. Doctors are amazed how she survived

On December 18, 1994, 27-year-old Alison Botha came back to her apartment in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, after hanging out with friends. When she parked her car, a man with a knife got inside. He told her to switch seats and then drove to get another man. The two men were Frans du Toit and Theuns Kruger.

The men took Botha to an empty area outside the city. They raped her and cut her throat 16 times. The cuts were so deep her head was almost completely off. They also stabbed her body 30 times. Before they left, one man asked if she was dead. The other one said nobody could live through that. Then they drove away.
