Tragically, the violence did not end there. Prosecutors allege that Maphosa used a hammer to drive a nail into her chest, inflicting fatal injuries.
After the brutal attack, Maphosa reportedly left the scene to visit a local beer hall.
The following morning, Maphosa returned home only to find his wife unresponsive and deceased.
The discovery prompted law enforcement authorities to arrest him, leading to his subsequent court appearance on charges of murder.
During his initial court appearance, Maphosa was remanded in custody. He is expected to remain detained until January 17, 2025, pending further legal proceedings.
The court advised him to seek bail by applying to the High Court.
