In South Africa, a 33-year-old lady was reportedly slain by her husband, only one day after she withdrew a domestic abuse lawsuit against him.
Lindelani Nengovhela's body was discovered in a water-filled pit toilet in their yard at Mangodi Ha Sundou, Limpopo, on Saturday, January 28, 2023.
The pair was apparently in a toxic relationship, and the lady had filed a domestic abuse lawsuit against her husband, which resulted in his arrest.
The husband, Livhuwani Madadzhe, commonly known as comedian SABC Livhu, was free on bail and was scheduled to appear in Thohoyandou Magistrate"s Court next week, but she appeared in court on Friday, January 27, and withdrew the case.
According to a Limpopo police spokeswoman, the husband, 38, phoned the police on Saturday morning, claiming he couldn't find his wife but was startled to discover her dead in the pit latrine in their yard.
"A preliminary investigation undertaken by police at the site resulted in the arrest of the suspect on a murder charge," Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo stated.
