A 27-YEAR-OLD man who was arrested for allegedly stabbing his pregnant girlfriend to death died in police holdings in Hartswater. It is alleged that on 25 November 2023 at around 3:30am, the deceased, Faith Davids (29) was with her cousin at their home allegedly from a local tavern.
The accused, Sobressa Bosman shortly joined them and an argument ensued.
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) regional spokesperson in Northern Cape, Mojalefa Senokoatsane said the fight ensued between the couple. Senokoatsane further said Bosman allegedly stabbed his girlfriend several times.
“The victim was taken to the hospital, where she was declared dead. The matter was reported to the police and the accused was arrested. Unfortunately, Bosman passed on while investigations led by the South African Police Service were continuing in this matter.
“The matter will now be closed as the accused has passed on before the investigations were concluded. The accused had passed on while in the holding cells at the Hartswater Police Station and was to make a formal bail application in the Hartswater District Court,” he said.
Senokoatsane added that, the NPA was going to oppose this bail application.
