“When speaking to a neighbour, officers were told that the victim had been threatened by her boyfriend and on the night of the murder they had heard the victim pleading for her life,” said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.
“The neighbour also alleged that when they asked the suspect what had happened the night before he insisted nothing and that the victim was talking rubbish.”
It was further reported to police that the suspect had blood on his clothes and was looking for water to clean them.
