Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>A 38-year-old man has been arrested after he allegedly murdered his wife following an argument about a cellphone call she made while he was sleeping. It is alleged the husband, who was asleep at their home in Mabharhula village, Mpumalanga, on Thursday evening woke up while his 30-year-old wife was speaking to an unknown person on the phone.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is said that the suspect was asleep then woke up and found his wife busy talking on the cellphone, then a quarrel began which turned into a fight and grappling over a cellphone,\u201d police spokesperson Brigadier Selvy Mohlala said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suspect is alleged to have then grabbed his licenced firearm and shot her twice. Strangled with belts \u2013 double murder accused \u2018misbehaves\u2019 as court hears details of Jesse Hess\u2019 death<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is unknown if the argument was sparked by his wife speaking on the cellphone or who she was speaking to.<\/p>\n

\u201d Police responded to the scene and found the wife lying in the bedroom. She sustained bullet wounds on her upper body and back.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe members [police] immediately alerted their counterparts from emergency services to come and assist, but unfortunately, the woman succumbed to her injuries and was certified dead at the scene,\u201d Mohlala said.<\/p>\n

The husband, who was still at the house, was arrested and charged with murder. The suspect is expected to appear in the Mkhuhlu Magistrate\u2019s Court on Monday.<\/p>\n

Mpumalanga police commissioner Lieutenant-General Semakaleng Daphney Manamela said she \u201cstrongly condemned yet another domestic violence incident in which a woman was murdered, allegedly by her husband\u201d.<\/p>\n

She called for justice to be served. \u201cThis is really disturbing when a woman dies allegedly in the hands of her partner. When will this come to an end? We have witnessed enough women killed by those who claim to care for them.<\/p>\n

The law must really take its course,\u201d Manamela added. Never miss a story. Choose from our range of newsletters to get the news you want delivered straight to your inbox.<\/p>\n
