Community members suspected that the woman murdered her husband, Lepitsi Mohlala (56), after they apparently heard the couple arguing some days earlier.
On July 17, police were called to the house after the community marched on it and threatened to burn it down.
Stones were thrown at police on their arrival and the tyres of one of their vehicles were slashed.
‘‘The police managed to calm the public, who then informed them that they wanted the officers to open the doors by force, as the door of one of the rooms was locked,’’ said Crystal Park SAPS media liaison officer Tryna Maritz.
A family of eight, who lived in the house, were taken to a place of safety.
Crystal Park SAPS opened a case of a missing person and this is being investigated.
The missing man worked at Ebotse Golf Estate as a contractor, and has not been seen at work since his disappearance.
Anyone with information about the man’s whereabouts can call Const Lerato Mopeli on 071 675 6752.
