A 74-year-old woman was found stabbed to de*th allegedly by her boyfriend at a housing complex in Cornubia City, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) reported receiving a call from a resident of the complex shortly after 5pm on Thursday, October 3, 2024. The caller informed them that a woman’s body had been discovered during a routine wellness check.
RUSA quickly responded to the scene and observed members of the South African Police Service (SAPS) already present at the location.
Paramedics entered the residence and discovered the female on a bed on the lower level of the home. She was topless and was stabbed multiple times in the face and head. A blue blood-stained t-shirt was located on the sofa next to the bed,” said RUSA.
RUSA added that it was informed by neighbours that they heard the couple arguing and believed the argument turned violent. This prompted them to conduct a wellness check
When they approached the house, the deceased’s partner allegedly behaved in a suspicious manner.
A neighbour entered the house and called out to the female and when she did not receive a response, she tried to look for her before discovering the body on a bed covered with a bed sheet.
“Her boyfriend fled after the discovery was made. Blood was found in the bathroom and it’s believed that the suspect took a shower and changed his clothes prior to members of the community arriving at the house,” said RUSA in a statement.
Additionally, RUSA said neighbours informed them that the suspect had a history of violence and had a history of allegedly assaulting the woman when she refused to purchase alcohol for him.
