A SANGOMA and her brother-in-law were arrested on Wednesday, 7 February.
Iyoh, what happened?
This comes after the body of Kedumetsi Chowe (47) was found in a dumpsite in Palm Springs, Vaal on Wednesday morning.
Kedumetsi from Palm Springs was found with multiple stab wounds to his body, with blood coming from his mouth and ears.
It's alleged that this happened after he ended his relationship with his 39-year-old sangoma girlfriend.
Cousin spills beans on Kedumetsi's death
David Mumako (44) told Daily Sun that his cousin died because he allegedly refused to make his girlfriend a beneficiary for his home and at work.
"He decided to end the relationship because the girlfriend was now abusing him," David said.
He claimed that the girlfriend was always angry with Kedumetsi because he didn't make her a beneficiary of the house and provident fund at his workplace.
"She became very violent and started beating my cousin all the time and told him that no other woman would be with him except her," David claimed.
Abahlali take the matter into their own hands
Evaton police rescued the girlfriend from angry community members who were baying for her blood, claiming that Kedumetsi was the sixth victim killed by her.
One of the angry residents told Daily Sun that the suspect was allegedly dating men who were employed. Shortly after gaining their trust, she allegedly demanded that she become heir to the men's assets and when they refused to make her the beneficiary, they mysteriously die.
She claimed that the neighbours heard couple arguing on Tuesday night, 7 February, and after some time, they heard someone pushing the dustbin.
Kedumetsi's body dumped at a dumpsite
"Then in the morning, they received WhatsApp messages informing community members that the body of Kedumetsi had been found next to the dumpsite.
"They rushed to the woman's house, found her cleaning, and had already washed the carpet. This angered the residents who forcibly took the girlfriend to where Kedumetsi's body was found but the police were quick to arrive before she was beaten," she said.
Police make arrest
Evaton police spokeswoman Constable Thulisile Msibi said cops have opened a murder case and a 39-year-old woman and a 27-year-old man have been arrested.
