A prostitute from Inyathi was yesterday morning found dead with her face split open a few metres from the local police station.
Senzeni Sibanda, 29, is said to have left a local night spot in the company of man identified as Dube, a caretaker at Inyathi Police Station.
Inyathi police have since brought Dube in for questioning.
Dube, who is said to be in his late 50s, was the last person seen in the company of Senzeni after they left Senco Cocktail Bar at Inyathi Business Centre around 2AM yesterday, apparently to spend the rest of the morning together.
The murder weapon had not been found but it was suspected that her killer used an axe to strike her over yet-to-be-ascertained reasons.
Senzeni's aunt, Medrina Sibanda, said she received a phone call in the morning concerning the death of her niece.
Medrina said she learnt that Senzeni, a mother of one, was drinking beer with Dube in the company of her friend, Sizalobuhle Khumalo, at Senco Cocktail Bar the previous night.
She said at around 2AM, Senzeni left the bar in the company of Dube who had proposed to engage in sex with her.
"I was told that the two left the bar to go and sleep together at Dube's house. That's all I heard," said a grieving Medrina.
"I don't know what happened or what the misunderstanding was about which led to the gruesome murder of my niece. I was only called this morning and we are very saddened by her untimely passing away because she was indeed a good person."
Senzeni's friend, Sizalobuhle, confirmed she was with Senzeni and Dube drinking beer at the local popular joint. She said at around 2AM, she told the two that she was leaving the bar since there were no clients. She said Dube had been buying beer for them the whole night until they left the bar.
