Woman killed for cheating on lover

A 46-year-old woman from Tswelopele in Ivory Park, Ekurhuleni, who was cheating on her husband was allegedly kidnapped, raped and killed after she started cheating on her lover as well.

A man allegedly followed Ntsae Mokomame when she left a tavern on Sunday night and her body was found in a scrap taxi the next morning.

Resident Refilwe Koena said Ntsae came running to her for help that night.

"She said her boyfriend was assaulting her," Refilwe told Daily Sun.

"I tried to open the door for her, but her boyfriend was already there and he threatened to kill me as well.

"The man dragged Ntsae to a scrap taxi and continued to beat her."

Angry residents found the suspect at his house, beat him up and torched his home.

He was saved by cops and taken to Tembisa Hospital.

The woman's husband, Simon (61), said his wife left their home on Sunday morning, but he didn't know where she was going.

"I was sleeping because I was working night shift," he said. When he left for work Ntsae was still not home.

"On Monday morning two women came knocking on my door to tell me my wife's body had been found," he said.

"I was heartbroken, but there was nothing I could do."

The suspect allegedly confessed when the community brought him to Simon.

"He said he killed her because she cheated on him," Simon said. "The cops were there and they heard him say it."

Warrant Officer Nelda Sekgobela said the suspect is facing murder and rape charges.
"He was convicted of rape in 1989," Sekgobela said.
