A man (30) is expected to appear at Ganyesa Magistrate’s Court for murder on Tuesday. North West police spokesperson, Lieutenant Col, Amanda Funani said the suspect allegedly killed his girlfriend (24) during a squabble.
“According to information received, the couple that stayed together in the RDP house at Bakola Section in Ganyesa, had an argument on the evening of 4 August 2021. This comes after the suspect allegedly saw his girlfriend drinking and talking to another man at a tavern in Vryburg.
“Subsequently, the suspect allegedly assaulted the deceased with a spade leading to her sustaining multiple and grievous bodily injuries. According to information at our disposal, upon realising that the girlfriend is dead, the suspect covered the deceased’s body with a blanket and pushed it beneath the bed,” she said.
Funani said then the suspect allegedly fled to his brother’s place in Kuruman, Northern Cape on 5 August 2021. However, she said the suspect allegedly informed his brother about the incident and the matter was eventually reported to the police in Kuruman.
“The suspect was then arrested and taken back to Ganyesa, where he was charged with murder after the gruesome discovery of the body,” said Funani.
Meanwhile, the North West Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Sello Kwena, condemned the brutal murder of the woman, who was killed during Women’s Month by someone who was supposed to protect her.
Kwena congratulated the police in Kuruman and Ganyesa for their teamwork, which led to the arrest of the suspect.
