IF not me, then no- one can have you!
Wife beater Elijah Khumalo (39) lost his wife Sithembiso Mathwasa (27) who left him to stay with her parents because she was tired of abuse and accusations of sleeping with a local teacher.
Caught by surprise, Khumalo didna��t like his estranged wifea��s move and so after having one too many drinks at a local Jotsholo bar on 15 October he phoned her and begged to meet up.
She gave in to his plea and he went to her parents homestead on the same night.
He went straight to her bedroom hut where she was relaxing as their two children did their homework. He pleaded for forgiveness but she stood her ground.
When she told him to go, he accused her of spending his fortune with lovers,A� leaving him poorer.
In a fit of rage he picked up an axe and struck her while the children watched helplessly as their mother died slowly.
After the heinous crime he fled and his in-laws rushed to the room but nothing could be done to save Sithembiso.
The police launched a manhunt and the suspect was arrested. He had the deceaseda��s phone on him.
He didna��t waste the policea��s time and has since appeared before Lupane resident magistrate Ndumo Masuku facing a murder charge.
He was remanded in custody to 22 November and advised to apply for bail at the Bulawayo High court.
