As mentioned earlier, Alison Both came into prominence after she survived horrific abduction. On December 18, 1994, two men kidnapped her at knifepoint near her home in South Africa. That night, she was returning to her apartment from a fun night out with her friends.
A man with a knife stormed into her vehicle while she had pulled up and was preparing to take a short walk to her home. Furthermore, the man demanded her to move to the passenger seat and trapped her in the car. Then he drove to pick up an accomplice.
The men then drove her to a deserted area way out of the city. There, they brutally raped her. After that, they got determined to kill her too. Initially, they tried suffocating her, but despite losing consciousness, she clung to her life.
Then, the men, later identified as Frans du Toit, also known as Clinton and Theuns Kruger, stabbed her in the abdomen, not once, not twice, but at least 30 times. She later revealed that Clinton specifically wanted to mutilate her reproductive organs. However, they missed those parts of the body.
Just when the attackers thought she was dead, her leg twitched, and then they began to slit her throat 16 times. Alison later recalled that all she could see was an arm moving above her face, left and right and left and right. She even heard a wet sound, and that was the sound of her flesh being slashed open.
Furthermore, Botha added that she felt no pain, and that was not a dream. And they were indeed slashing her throat. After that, they stepped back. The rapists thought that she could not survive that and were satisfied that she had died. Then, the attackers drove away.
