Photos: South African police officer kills his girlfriend and then commits suicide
A young female constable was brutally murdered by her
lover, also a police officer at KwaDabeka Police Station in
KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa on Tuesday 29 August.
Nontuthuko Mthembu, who started working as a police officer
last year, was allegedly shot and killed by her boyfriend before he
turned the gun on himself.
According to KwaDabeka police spokesperson Captain Mazwi
Mbatha, the man who is based at the Inanda Cluster was in one of the
offices with Mthembu at the KwaDabeka police station when they heard her
screaming for help and asking for forgiveness.
“We then heard about four gunshots and rushed into the office, and unfortunately they were declared dead on scene,” said Mbatha.
“Although the staff has been counselled, the situation is
still very tense at the station. We have had lots of people coming in
and out since the incident happened.”
Mthembu was described as a bubbly people’s person who respected her job.
