A 45-year-old man who sex'ually assaulted his wife, Moagabo Madisha, has been sought by police in Dennilton, in the Sekhukhune District of the Limpopo province of South Africa.
Colonel Malesela Ledwaba, a spokesman for the provincial police of Limpopo, stated that initial inquiries showed that the 42-year-old victim was stabbed by her husband during a domestic argument.
"The victim was taken to a nearby hospital by emergency medical personnel after the suspect left the scene, and upon arrival, she was pronounced dead."
A thorough search has been initiated for the fugitive husband, and police have opened a murder case.
As the nation recently began the 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children campaign, Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe, the provincial commissioner of police in Limpopo, has expressed "outrage" at the occurrence.
We continue to lose more women to their partners, therefore this is a setback for us. "The investigating team needs to make sure the suspect is located and taken into custody," Hadebe stated.
“Anyone with information that can lead to the apprehension of the suspect should contact the investigating officer, Constable Malose Lamola at 060 674 2649, Crime Stop at 08600 10111, or the nearest police station. Information can also be submitted via My SAPS App."
