It was reported that the woman accused her boyfriend of withdrawing money from the bank. She realised that the money she received from a government grant was withdrawn from the bank.

A fight ensued between the two, and the man was stabbed with a knife and later rushed to a nearby hospital where he was declared dead on arrival. The woman was immediately arrested by the Libode police. Police spokesperson Captain Welile Matyolo said the suspect was charged for murder.

The suspect appeared in the Libode Magistrates Court on Tuesday, July 28, and the case was remanded to July 30 for a formal bail application.
