Police in South Africa are searching for a 38-year-old woman, Halimmah Thamando Mnyobisi, in connection with the murder of her husband, Fezile Mnyobisi.
The 35-year-old teacher was fatally stabbed over 30 times in Botshabelo, Free State, on 15 September 2023.
Despite being driven to hospital by his wife, Mnyobisi tragically passed away upon arrival.
Provincial police spokesperson, Sergeant Mahlomola Kareli, revealed on Wednesday, 13 November, that the attack occurred near Sechaba-se-Maketse Combined School in H1-Section.
