A 24-YEAR-OLD man fatally stabbed his wife with a kitchen
knife and then tried to commit suicide by stabbing himself with the same knife
after accusing her of infidelity.
Matabeleland South acting provincial police spokesperson
sergeant Stanford Mguni said Obedience Ncube of Sikhamaswe Village in Sun Yet
Sen became furious after his wife, Laiza Ndlovu (21), received a message on her
cell phone and he suspected that it was from her boyfriend.
Ncube stabbed Ndlovu three times before stabbing himself on
the stomach with the same knife in a bid to commit suicide. Sgt Mguni said the
incident happened at the weekend.
He said both Ncube and Ndlovu were rushed to Tshelanyemba
Hospital and Ndlovu was later transferred to United Bulawayo Hospitals where
she died on Monday.
“Ncube saw a message on his wife’s cell phone but failed to
read it as he is illiterate. He sought assistance from his sister who indicated
that the message was from his wife’s sister. Ncube didn’t believe his sister
and accused her of concealing his wife’s infidelity and chased his sister out
of the homestead,” he said.
Sgt Mguni said Ncube then confronted his wife and accused
her of infidelity and claimed that the message was from her boyfriend but she
denied the allegations.
“Ncube picked up a knife which was on the table, pushed his
wife to the floor and stabbed her on the right side of her neck, right ear and
left breast. Ndlovu managed to escape and fled from the homestead but fell
unconscious after running a short distance,” he
said.Chronicle
