Mlungisi Chamane (33) will spend 17 years in jail for the death of his fiancee. The Scottsburg Regional Court convicted and sentenced Chamane to 17 years’ imprisonment for killing his fiancee Lungi Mbhele.
In 2019, Umkomaas police received a report of a body lying on Watsonia Drive in Roseneath. On arrival, they found the body of a woman with multiple stab wounds.
A case of murder was opened at the Umkomaas Police Station for investigation.
Police spokeswoman Captain Nqobile Gwala said investigations revealed that the woman was a resident of Umthwalume and lived in Umkomaas because of her job.
“On the day of the attack, she was on her way to work when she was confronted by her fiancee Mlungisi, who stabbed her 27 times,” said Gwala.
She said Chamane left the Umkomaas area and went into hiding.
The police received information that the suspect had left Umkomaas and fled to his home in Umthwalume.
He was arrested at his homestead and was charged with murder.
He made several court appearances until he was found guilty and sentenced to 17 years behind bars.
