Police in the Capricorn District are conducting a search for a Zimbabwean national suspected of murdering his girlfriend during a domestic dispute in Seshego on Friday night.
The incident occurred at a residence in Luthuli Phase 1 at approximately 22:00 on 07 February 2026. According to preliminary police reports, the couple, both foreign nationals, engaged in a heated argument. Other tenants at the residence attempted to intervene to de-escalate the situation.
Later that night, the woman was heard screaming, alleging that her boyfriend had stabbed her. She reportedly managed to jump over a fence into a neighbouring yard, where she collapsed. She sustained multiple open stab wounds and succumbed to her injuries at the scene.
The deceased female has not yet been formally identified and is described only as being between 36 and 39 years old.
The male suspect fled the scene immediately after the incident and remains at large. A case of murder has been opened by the Seshego police.
Investigations are ongoing to trace and arrest the suspect.
