Man fatally stabbed on Valentine’s Day

KZN police spokesperson Constable Thenjiswa Ngcobo said a case of murder is being investigated after a 22 year old man was stabbed to death.

Ezinqoleni police are still looking for a man who is believed to have fatally stabbed Sbusiso Nxumalo in KwaShobashobane area in Izingolweni last week.

Valentine’s Day did not end well for a couple, after Nxumalo was allegedly stabbed by his girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend.
The woman who did not wish to be named said she had broken up with her ex and had moved on.

She said she was at her house with Nxumalo, when the suspect walked in on them and stabbed Nxumalo.
She grabbed his hand holding the knife and Nxumalo managed to escape.

However, he was found dead a few metres away from his girlfriend’s house.

KZN police spokesperson Constable Thenjiswa Ngcobo said a case of murder is being investigated after a 22 year old man was stabbed to death.
The suspect is still at large.

When the Herald visited the woman’s house, a blood trail led to where Nxumalo had died.
His grandmother, Doris Khumalo said she is shattered in the manner which her grandson was killed.

Sbusiso Nxumalo’s cellphone was found by a journalist, a day after his fatal stabbing.

“He was such a good person, very respectful and did not like to fight. I wish his mother was still alive because I have endured so much pain. I felt so much pain after his mother died, now it’s him.”

Khumalo could not hold back her tears as she explained that he was her eldest grandson.
She said that when her grandson wanted to go out, he would use a certain term to tell her that he was going to visit his girlfriend, but he always returned home.

“On that fateful day, he ran down to the main road as if he was rushing, I didn’t know he was rushing after death.”
Khumalo said the family did not know who he was seeing, and they were shocked that he would walk such a long distance to visit his girlfriend.

She said she has placed everything in God’s hands because there is nothing more she can do.
