Panga-wielding lover slain by ex-girlfriend's brothers

He was chased out of the house, but came back in the dead of night with a panga - Now he's dead

Two brothers were arrested after they allegedly hacked a man to death in KwaNobuhle, near Uitenhage on Tuesday morning, Eastern Cape police said.  

Lt-Col Priscilla Naidu said the 45-year-old man was chased out of his ex-girlfriend’s house on Monday night.  

He returned to the house just after midnight with a panga and smashed several windows before breaking down the door.  

The woman’s brothers then caught the man and attacked him with his own panga — as well as a spade and an axe.

He died at the scene.  

The brothers are expected to appear in the KwaNobuhle Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday.
