Man (60) shoots girlfriend dead in front of cop
Published: 2013 November 19 15:53:08 (6839 Views)
A 60-year-old man who last year allegedly shot his 27-year-old girlfriend twice leading to her death, killed her because she had terminated their relationship and moved in with another man.
Siphathisiwe Ncube, of Tshongogwe in Lupane District ended her one year old affair with Danis David Konson and started staying with a new lover Mr Sikhumbuzo Dube from her village.
This infuriated Konson who had opened a grocery shop for her at Tshongogwe Business Centre and now wanted his money back after termination of affair.
Konson of 31 St Albans Drive in Parklands faces a charge of murder after fatally shooting Ncube in front of a policeman.
His trial was supposed to start yesterday but was moved to today after witnesses failed to turn up.
Bulawayo High Court judge Justice Lawrence Kamocha will preside over the matter with Mrs Angeline Munyeriwa the State counsel from the Attorney General's Office.
Konson and Ncube started the affair in 2011 and in January 2012, the accused opened a shop for her which he also helped her run it.
Indications are that in July last year, Ncube told Konson that she wanted to end the relationship and he would persuade her to change her mind on several occasions but without success.
Konson allegedly went to Jotsholo Police Station and appealed for help in solving the dispute between him and Ncube-telling the police that they were fighting over a business deal.
Konson allegedly shot dead Ncube with a CZ 6.35mm pistol in front of a policeman identified as Wisdom Matupire who had accompanied him to meet her at Tshongogwe Business Centre.
He allegedly shot her once on the head and once on the thigh and she fell and died on the spot. The State wishes to invite witnesses who witnessed the incident to testify.
