The horrifying incident unfolded at a residence in Emakhandeni suburb during the late hours of Tuesday night, leading to Sibanda surrendering himself to the police.
Authorities have confirmed the brutality of the murder, shedding light on the relationship dynamics between Sibanda and the now-deceased, who was five months pregnant.

Allegedly, Sibanda accused Gift of being the father of the unborn child, resulting in a heated confrontation.
“On the 5th of February 2024, around 1700 hours, the accused person and the now deceased knocked off duty and went to the accused person’s place of residence. Upon arrival at around 1800 hours, the accused person allegedly asked the now deceased about the contact number of a frequent caller in her cell phone called Gift.
“The now deceased told the accused person that Gift was her boyfriend and was responsible for the pregnancy, the accused claims. He further alleges that this did not go well with him, and he took a metal bar which was behind the door, struck the now deceased once on the head and she fell down and became unconscious.”
