Too bad - South African man hacks girlfriend to death

South African Police spokesperson
Captain Jabu Ndubane has confirmed
that a South African man who is
currently on the run, reportedly killed
his girlfriend with panga (broad knife)
in Mpumalanga, South Africa after an
argument.

The corpse of the 42-year-old woman
was allegedly discovered by her 16-year-
old step son, who noticed that the door
was wide open and there was blood
everywhere when he came home from
his neighbour’s house, where he had
spent the night.

Mpumalanga News reported that he
then went outside and noticed that his
stepmother was lying on the floor in the
toilet, and he saw flies, blood in her face
and ran to alert his stepmother’s friend,
who called the police.

“When police arrived at the scene, the
woman was already dead. According to
the information we obtained from a
friend earlier, the couple were drinking
alcohol and had a quarrel. They tried to
calm them and left. Police discovered a
bloodied panga, blood on the bed, even
clothes that the boyfriend was wearing,
but he was no where to be found. We
are still searching for the suspect and
the investigation is still on,” said
Ndubane.
