A wife has left people in shock after she brutally murdered her husband by beating and strangling him to death.
A husband who loved his wife dearly has died after she beat and strangled him to death.
DailySun SA reports that the 45-year-old man from Orange Farm, south of Joburg, died after he was strangled to death for disturbing his wife from seeing her boyfriend.
The man’s sister claimed her brother had accepted the fact that his wife had another lover.
“He even took her to her boyfriend at night before going home to his cold, lonely bed,” she claimed.
“They would fight in front of the children. We were tired of telling her to stop cheating on him.”
She said the woman went to the police and handed herself over the day after her husband died.
“She told the police in front of us that she had killed her husband because he kept following her whenever she wanted to go to another man,” claimed the sister.
It was gathered that the woman locked the doors and beat the man to death. When she realized that he was dead, she threw him off the bed and went to her boyfriend. She came back the following day and turned herself in.
“We didn’t know anything until police and paramedics came to declare him dead,” he claimed.
A neighbour claims she heard the man screaming for help.
“I tried to help him but the doors were locked. After a few minutes there was silence, so I went home but I worried all night. The following morning, I woke up to find police and a mortuary van at the house.”
Orange Farm police spokesman Captain Johannes Motsiri confirmed that a woman was arrested for the murder of her husband. She will appear in court soon.
