The body of Sihle Ndebele, of Jinjika Village in
Makorokoro, was discovered in her homestead three days after she was last seen
in public, according to villagers who spoke to CITE.
“There is a woman who was killed in cold blood in
Makorokoro,” said a villager who refused to be named.
“Her body was discovered on Friday and we suspect that she
was murdered on Wednesday,” he said.
“There are suspects who have been arrested. This is what
happened: this woman (Ndebele) is said to have been in love with a certain man
by the name of Sofa Ncube (above 60). The same Sofa Ncube was also in love with
another woman by the name of Naki Maphosa (About 38 years old) also of
Makorokoro near Tjedza at Jinjika Village.”
He explained further and said Maphosa had earlier
confronted Ndebele accusing her of being in love with her lover, resulting in
the latter agreeing to part ways with Ncube.
A few days later, Ndebele was found dead in her bedroom,
said the source, when the suspects were now trying to burn the room in order to
destroy evidence.
“For her body to be located, people saw fire coming out of
her room and had to go and check what was happening, only to discover that
MaNdebele had been killed.
Ncube and Maphosa were immediately arrested and taken to
Mayobodo Police Station in Khalanyoni.
“The body was removed from Makorokoro on Friday night and
taken to Bulawayo for post-mortem and brought back yesterday (Monday) and was
buried Tuesday morning,” he said.
Another villager, said those who wrapped up Ndebele’s body
said she did not have any cuts on the body, suggesting that she had been
strangled.
Matabeleland South provincial police spokesperson,
Inspector Loveness Mangena said she would confirm the case with Mayobodo Police
Station. CITE
