A man identified as Coster Masita from Nkanyi in South Africa allegedly axed his married girlfriend before setting the body on fire in a bedroom hut over a yet to be established issue.<\/p>\n

Police sources said Masina allegedly axed Ms. Sophie Mpande several times in the head, shoulder and back causing her instant death on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Villagers told investigators that Masina and Ms. Mpande were known love birds in Chief Sivalo area.<\/p>\n

Masina was reportedly staying at the deceased homestead near the Nkanyi rural district Council clinic and she had introduced him as a domestic worker to her husband.<\/p>\n

The incident happened in the early hours of saturday, Mpande\u2019s 16 years old daughter Simoeshile Mguni, heard her mother screaming and rushed to check but the suspect threatened to kill her.<\/p>\n

The girl rushed to seek help from neighbours who arrived a few minutes later and found the hut on fire and Masina had disappeared,\u201d said the source.<\/p>

The source said villagers followed Masina\u2019s footprints which led them to his homestead in a neighbouring village. However he was not at home, Masina allegedly informed his mother and Uncle that he killed someone.<\/p>\n

The family discovered that he had left a suicide note behind.<\/p>\n

Police spokesperson for Matabeleland North province inspector Siphiwe Makonese is yet to confirm the matter.<\/p>\n
