Police are on the hunt for Halimmah Thamando Mnyobisi for allegedly murdering her husband, Fezile Mnyobisi, in Botshabelo, Free State.
The 35-year-old teacher was stabbed more than 30 times and was driven to hospital by his 38-year-old wife on September 15, 2023. He was declared dead on arrival.
Provincial spokesperson, Sergeant Mahlomola Kareli said the attack took place near Sechaba-se-Maketse Combined School in H1-Section.
The deceased was a teacher at Refihlile Primary School in C-Section.
Kareli said police initially opened a case of robbery and murder at Botshabelo Police Station for further investigation.
“After intensive investigation by Botshabelo detectives working together with the Provincial Investigative Psychology Section, three suspects were arrested after warrants of their arrests were issued.
“Vusumuzi Daniel Nqele, 43, Moeketsi Innocent Manko, 35, were arrested on Friday November 8, 2024, for murder and conspiracy to commit murder,” said Kareli.
Additionally, Halimmah’s brother, Abdool Thamando, 35, was later arrested in Johannesburg, Gauteng.
