A young female constable was brutally murdered by her lover, also a
police officer at KwaDabeka Police Station in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa on
Tuesday 29 August.
Nontuthuko Mthembu, who started working as a police officer last year,
was allegedly shot and killed by her boyfriend before he turned the gun on
himself.
According to KwaDabeka police spokesperson Captain Mazwi
Mbatha, the man who is based at the Inanda Cluster was in one of the offices
with Mthembu at the KwaDabeka police station when they heard her screaming for
help and asking for forgiveness.
“We then heard
about four gunshots and rushed into the office, and unfortunately they were
declared dead on scene,” said Mbatha.
“Although the
staff has been counselled, the situation is still very tense at the station. We
have had lots of people coming in and out since the incident happened.”
Mthembu was
described as a bubbly people’s person who respected her job.
