According to police spokesperson, Lt-Col Moatshe Ngoepe, Sana Kgwale, 33, was shot to death by her husband after a domestic dispute at their home, and he later shot another man.

“After the deceased was shot, the suspect wrapped her body in a blanket and hid it in the bathtub before handing himself over to police,” Ngoepe explained.

Preliminary police investigations have revealed that the couple had an argument earlier whereby the suspect accused the deceased of having an extramarital affair with another man.

The injured man was taken to hospital with serious gunshot wounds, and the suspect will appear before the Lebowakgomo Magistrates’ Court soon.

“Communities are once more advised and encouraged to consult with relevant local professionals and authorities when it comes to domestic related situations for intervention, rather than harming or killing each other,” Ngoepe concluded.
