The victim was granted bail after she was arrested for assaulting her alleged boyfriend and seriously injuring him.
LIMPOPO – Zindle Mokoena (21) was killed in her home one day after she appeared in court on the count of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm.
“The victim was arrested after she stabbed and seriously injured her alleged boyfriend (45) during an altercation at his residence in Monsterloos village outside Sekhukhune on Tuesday (October 4),” Lieutenant Colonel Malesela Ledwaba confirmed.
She was apprehended on Thursday (October 6) and appeared before the Nebo Magistrate’s Court yesterday (October 7) where she was released on free bail.
That evening she visited a tavern that is situated next to her home.
The man who she reportedly assaulted entered the tavern at about 19:45, dragged her to her house and stabbed her numerous times, killing her instantly.
“The man was arrested at the scene of the crime and is scheduled to appear in the Nebo Magistrate’s Court on Monday (October 10) facing a charge of murder.”
Limpopo’s provincial police commissioner Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe called for harsh consequences against the suspect and condemns the act of taking the law into one’s own hands.
