WORRYING: Jealous man kills girlfriend over money gift from another man
A jealous man killed his lover because he believed she had been unfaithful to him.
The 49-year-old suspect, who goes by the name Vundla, repeatedly stabbed his longtime partner in the chest. He claims he did this because he believed she was having an affair. After all, she received $5 from another man. The tragic incident allegedly took place on November 30, 2022, in Zimbabwe’s Esigodini area.
It was also said that after brutally killing his girlfriend, he kept her body for two days and had sweet sex with it. On the third day, he tried to kill himself by drinking an insecticide bottle, but a neighbor stopped him and helped him.
Some people who knew both the suspect and his girlfriend said that they have been together for a while, but that they usually fight.
So, about a week ago, while holding his girlfriend’s phone, the jealous boyfriend saw that someone had sent her $5 in mobile money.
Then, the boyfriend got mad and asked her who sent her the money. She did not say anything, though.
So, they got into a fight, and he killed her very cruelly by stabbing her. After he killed her, he put her body in his room and slept with it for two nights. Later, people who lived nearby found him and took him to jail.
The judge, Ms. Nokukhanya Moyo, said that on November 30, Vundla was accused of killing his 39-year-old girlfriend Sithokozile Sibanda.
“Vundla and his girlfriend got into a fight on November 7 after she got money from another man that she wanted to use for bus fare. This led to a misunderstanding, and the person who was accused ended up killing the woman by cutting her in the stomach with a sharp object.
