The guy stays in a commune, other occupants sharing the commune said it started as an argument late at night and it escalated into a fight, with some occupants hearing the lady shouting for help and asking the guy why he was beating her.
Provincial police commissioner, Lt-Gen Liziwe Ntshinga condemned the incident, especially as it occurred in Women’s Month. “This is one of the devastating scenes women do not want to see during this Women’s Month. The incident represents a manifestation of the stubbornness of gender-based violence and femicide incidents which are endemic within our society,” Ntshinga said.

Eventually there was just silence, the other occupants had not intervened and they assumed they had just ironed out their issue but this was not the case. As this led to the body found at the crime scene in the early hours of the morning.
The guy did not flee, the cops have apprehended him, there was a trail of blood from his room to the entrance of the commune, the cops handled the crime seen well. It’s such a tragedy that this led to the loss of life of a young woman.
She was a final year LLB student at the University of Fort Hare who met her sad and tragic end in the hands of someone she trusted. May her family and friends, find comfort in the love and memory they shared and may her soul rest in peace.
