cops that the man who works at a lawyers’ offce in the building had suspected
his girlfriend of cheating on him.

told at the scene, the man had accused his girlfriend of cheating on him.
Ndlovu said the suspect reportedly stabbed his girlfriend from Siyanda near
KwaMashu to death. “He allegedly first grabbed her by the throat and strangled
her before stabbing her once in the chest. She died on the scene.
“After that he tried
to kill himself by stabbing himself on the neck. He did not die and was taken
to a local hospital, where he is under police guard. Once the suspect has
