Woman murdered in front of daughter in Orange Farm

ORANGE FARM.- Police have launched a manhunt for murder suspect believed to be the boyfriend of a 26-year old woman whose body was found on Saturday evening, 17 October 2020 in a house in Orange Farm.

The woman is believed to be the cousin of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) MP Mbuyiseni Ndlozi.

In a tweet Ndlozi said he is completely shattered by the brutal murder of his cousin Duduzile Dlamini.

“She was stabbed to death by her boyfriend in front of her 5 year old daughter in Orange Farm last night. The coward fled the scene & is on the run.”

According to police spokesperson Mathapelo Peters preliminary evidence suggests that the woman was stabbed multiple times with a weapon found not far from the scene.

“The circumstances surrounding the murder are under investigation, with the motive yet to be determined.”

The investigation is being prioritised in line with the SAPS commitment to prioritise the investigations of gender-based violence and femicide.
