A South African woman, Funanani
Mbedzi, has been allegedly shot dead by her husband inside the church during
the Easter celebration.
According to South African
police, the murder suspect entered the church in Makonde Shadani village,
outside Thohoyandou, around 6 pm while the congregation was engaged in worship
and shot at his wife multiple times.
Limpopo SAPS spokesperson
Colonel Malesela Ledwaba while confirming the incident, said the husband fled
the scene after killing the worship leader.
“While the motive behind this
appalling incident remains unclear, domestic violence cannot be ruled out. The
man handed himself over to the police yesterday after being on the run for two
days.”
According to Ledwaba, the
suspect’s licensed firearm, believed to have been used to commit the crime, was
confiscated during the arrest.
