Man kills wife and attempts suicide over infidelity

A 24-YEAR-OLD man fatally stabbed his wife with a kitchen knife and then tried to commit suicide by stabbing himself with the same knife after accusing her of infidelity.

Matabeleland South acting provincial police spokesperson Sergeant Stanford Mguni said Obedience Ncube of Sikhamaswe Village in Sun Yet Sen became furious after his wife, Laiza Ndlovu (21), received a message on her cell phone and he suspected that it was from her boyfriend.

Ncube stabbed Ndlovu three times before stabbing himself on the stomach with the same knife.
