According to eyewitnesses, the young man fled the scene after committing the heinous act. When the community learned of the incident, they tracked him down to a nearby area called eMbatheni.
Once found, the community members beat him severely before setting him on fire.
Local leader Albert Mthiyane confirmed the incident, stating,
“I arrived at the scene and saw the woman severely injured and no longer alive in her home. The father of the household is also deceased. It is unclear what motivated this act, and the child who witnessed the event is too young to provide reliable testimony.”

He had previously stabbed her, leaving her hospitalized in the ICU.
This tragic incident has left the community in shock and mourning, raising questions about the underlying issues that led to such a violent outburst and the extreme response from the community.
