A family from Kensington in Cape Town says they are living a nightmare after discovering the grave of their loved one, 72-year-old Lillian Jacobs, was dug open, her coffin forced apart and her gold chain taken at Maitland Cemetery on Friday.
Jacobs was buried with an imitation gold chain around her neck in October.
When her widower, Jeffrey Arendse, arrived for his usual visit on Thursday afternoon, he found the grave open, the wooden frame removed and the coffin cracked open.
