THERE was cheering and ululating as two newlyweds celebrated their marriage on Sunday.
But a few hours later, the celebration turned to tragedy when a guest was shot dead, allegedly by the groom!
The incident at Ehlanzeni Village in Eshowe, northern KZN left the family of the victim, Delani Mabaso (18) from Gcininhliziyo Village, devastated.
His sister, Ntombifuthi Sibiya (32), said her family was left with many unanswered questions after the incident that killed her brother and left another person wounded.
a�?We dona��t know what happened before he was shot.
a�?People told us Delani was just in the wrong place at the wrong time as the suspect was trying to break up a crowd of villagers who were fighting.
a�?Others told us the scene of the crime was many metres away from where the fight took place. We dona��t know who to believe.a�?
Ntombifuthi said after receiving a call about what had happened, she rushed to the scene and found her brother dead.
a�?My heart broke when I saw him lying dead. This man didna��t have to end my brothera��s life,a�? she said.
Ntombifuthi said her family hoped the suspect would explain in court why he shot her brother.

a�?A firearm was confiscated and the suspect will appear in the Eshowe Magistrates Court soon,a�? said Zwane. . .
