Girlfriend Arrested For Beaten Boyfriend To Death Over A Disagreement

A man from Zimbabwe has been killed by his girlfriend after his
skull was fractured during a violent
confrontation over an incident in Njube suburb
area of Zimbabwe.
Mr Nkosilathi Ncube (39) died following a scuffle with his live-in
girlfriend Florence Ncube Mpofu, reports The
Chronicle.
A postmortem conducted revealed
that Ncube died due to the severe head injuries
he sustained.
Ncube’s aunt Mrs Nomazulu Chomwecho
regretted the incident. “We’re just coming from
obtaining a post- mortem which revealed that
he had a crack in the skull and his brain was
full of blood. He was severely assaulted,” said
Mrs Chomwecho.
Mrs. Chomwecho said there are still a lot of
unanswered questions to be answered over
what could have happened leading to Ncube’s
death.
The man’s girlfriend has since been arrested
over the boyfriend’s death.
Lamenting on the death of her nephew, Mrs
Chomwecho added: “He was renting a house in
Njube and when I got there he was struggling
to breath. Within 20 minutes he died while I
was in the house.
She said what they only know so far is that Mr
Ncube was fighting with his girlfriend before
police intervened. Mrs Oppah Dube, who was
Mr Ncube’s landlord, said there had been no
peace between the couple.
She said she used to call the police on several
occasions over the pair’s fights but their
troubles never ended.
“They would fight from time to time. And on
Tuesday they started at around 9PM and I
phoned the police who told me that their
members were on patrol.
They came after two hours and broke into their
room before taking them away to the police
station,” said Mrs Dube.
She said the couple returned at around 3AM
with Mr Ncube struggling to breath.
“I quizzed them on what was wrong because he
was struggling to breath. At around 6AM his
girlfriend rushed to Mr Ncube’s relatives but
they delayed coming. I had already informed
the police that he was struggling to breath. At
about 7AM he died,” Mrs Dube said.
She said she still was in shock as to what
transpired and has some unanswered
questions.
Acting Bulawayo police spokesperson Assistant
Inspector Abednico Ncube could not
immediately comment on the matter as the case
had not reached his office yesterday.
