According to Pinetown Cluster communications officer, Captain Bongumusa Manqele, the body of the deceased was found by her former colleague at her residence on Bhulose Road in Nazareth.
“The former colleague had earlier received a call from the manager of the deceased as she did not report for duty in the morning of March, 20. The deceased had sustained a bullet wound to the forehead and she was half naked. A bullet head was found next to the deceased,” said Manqele.
A case of murder was opened at Pinetown Police Station for further investigation.
“Within hours after the discovery of the deceased, the suspect handed himself over to the police after he heard that police were looking for him,” said Manqele. The suspect will appear in court facing a murder charge.

At Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention. Happy reading!
My name is Sanelisiwe Tsinde, and I'm a mother of two boys and very family-oriented. Being a community journalist for years, I can proudly say I love writing about positive community news articles and giving a voice to the voiceless. Seeing people getting assistance warms my heart. Every day is a different challenge and a new learning opportunity. I supply news for our trusted publication weekly, and a few years ago, Caxton ventured into online publication, so I contribute daily to the websites. I could say I am a multimedia journalist, and working in a community newspaper is beneficial as we do not focus on one thing but we do a bit of everything.
