MEC for Transport, Community Safety and Liaison, Willies Mchunu, has learnt with shock and outrage that a woman was killed, allegedly by hand grenades that were hurled by her husband yesterday in Amanzimtoti, south of Durban. While the full details of this murder are still under investigation, preliminary information indicates that the suspect was arguing with his wife before throwing the explosives at her.
It is alleged that one exploded and she was taken to hospital where she later died. Today, (31 August 2015), MEC Mchunu expressed shock at this incident, condemning it in the strongest possible terms. He urged the law enforcement agencies to do everything possible to ensure that the suspect is brought to justice, as soon as possible. “I am highly disturbed by this senseless, inhumane and diabolical murder of a woman.
It is indeed; extremely painful to wake up to the terrible news that a woman has been murdered in such a nefarious manner. We also appeal to the suspect to hand himself over himself to the police and urge anyone who might have any information that might lead to his arrest to come forward,” said Mchunu. Mchunu also extended is heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the woman.
