He left his girlfriend whom he stayed with and went to have a good time at a tavern with his nyatsi in Giyani. After a night of drinking, the man and his nyatsi decided to go sleep at the woman's home in Ga-Femani village ,outside Tzaneen in Limpopo. When the couple got home, an argument ensued between them and the man allegedly stabbed the woman to death.

THE STABBING

According to Limpopo police spokesperson Brigadier Hlulani Mashaba, the suspect stabbed the victim with an unknown object and fled the scene on Saturday. "The police received information from community members that there was a person found dead at Ga-Femane village. When they arrived, they found the body of a woman lying on the ground, facing up, with stabbed wounds on the neck. The victim was identified by her sister as 23-year-old Maleboho Sebihleing," Mahaba said. 

KILLING HIMSELF AT HIS MAIN'S HOUSE 

It is alleged that after the man committed the murder, he went to his home in Khebababene village in Tzaneen where he stays with his main girlfriend and their children and apparently committed suicide. "The man hanged himself with an electric cable in a separate house in the same yard while the mother of his children was sleeping in another house," Mashaba said. He added that the police are investigating the inquest and murder cases. "The individual who was on the run after allegedly killing his girlfriend on Saturday was found hanging on Sunday,". Provincial Police Commissioner Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe has strongly condemned the gender-based violence incident and called upon Limpopo communities to accelerate actions to end the scourge.
