Police are investigating a case of murder following the brutal and senseless killing of a woman in front of her 11 month old baby on 22 January 2019. The incident took place at Msawawa Location in the Manzana Admin Area at Ngcobo.
It is alleged that the husband of the deceased, who works away from the Eastern Cape, contacted the deceased’s sister who does not live far from their home, to check on his wife and child as he could not reach her telephonically. Upon arrival at the home of her sister, she found her lying in a pool of blood and the 11 month old baby wandering around the mother.
During the preliminary investigation by the SAPS, it was found that the deceased sustained a bullet wound in her upper body. The child was unharmed and is in the care of relatives.
Brigadier Nkombisa, the Cluster Commander of Cofimvaba, condemns this heinous killing and made a plea to the community to assist the SAPS with information in tracking the perpetrators. Any person with information can contact Crime Stop at 08600 10111 or their nearest police station.
