Man who brutally killed wife buried

The Bulawayo man who callously stabbed his wife nine times and left her to bleed to death before hanging himself, was buried at his rural home in Nkayi this afternoon.

Gellot Ncube, 30, knifed his wife, Nomqhele Nkiwane, for walking out of their two year-old marriage on Thursday last week, a day before his 31st birthday.

He told friends that he had a triple homicide planned as he wanted to kill his two-year-old daughter before killing himself and his spouse.

He went on to stab his wife after failing to find their daughter.

Nkiwane was buried at West Park cemetery in Bulawayo on Sunday. Hundreds of people thronged the cemetery to give her an emotional send-off.
