A 25-YEAR-OLD man from Zimbabwe is expected to appear in Zeerust Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday. North West police spokesperson, Sgt Kelebogile Molale said the suspect was arrested in connection of a murder.

“The suspect was arrest on Monday in Zeerust. The police were summoned to a murder complaint and allegedly found a woman, 41 lying on the ground with multiple wounds on her body. The victim and the suspect were engaged in an argument when the suspect allegedly took out an axe and chopped her. The Emergency Medical Response Services (EMRS) personnel were called to the scene and certified her dead,” Molale said.

Provincial police commissioner, Lieutenant Gen Baile Motswenyane condemned the incident.

“It was upsetting to note that women are mercilessly killed. They are killed on a women’s month by their partners who were suppose to protect them. Police will do everything possible to ensure that the suspects get severe punishment,” Motswenyane said.
