A 39-year-old alleged murder suspect is expected to appear in court on Thursday after he handed himself over to police following his girlfriend’s death in KwaDwesi, Eastern Cape.
The suspect was arrested for murder and will appear before the New Brighton Magistrate’s court.
It is understood the couple were drinking together on Monday night and later had a disagreement between 10 pm and 11 pm. The suspect allegedly hit his girlfriend, identified as Nompumelelo Mabhoza (40), on her head with a plank.
“After the scuffle, they both went to bed. The suspect left the house on Tuesday morning and when he later returned at approximately 6 pm, he noticed that she was still in bed but was not responding,” police spokesperson Captain Sandra Janse van Rensburg said.
He later went to KwaDwesi police station, accompanied by his brother, to report the incident.
“Police went to their house in Mdwara Street, Govan Mbeki, and found dead, with visible injuries to her face,” said Janse van Rensburg.
