Murdered woman to be buried

THE Limpopo woman who was stabbed to death while sleeping with her two children will be buried tomorrow.

The deceased's sister, Elisabeth Motshabane, said yesterday that the funeral service would start at 7am at the Modimolle cemetery.

The deceased, Helen Motshabane, was killed on Monday.

According to Superintendent Malesela Ledwaba the deceased had been visited by her ex-boyfriend, Martin Moloto.

"Moloto and the deceased had a quarrel during his visit. Because it was late the deceased asked her brother to accommodate Moloto in his room," Ledwaba said.

The brother said: "Moloto woke up during the night and left the house Minutes later I heard screaming."

He said he saw Moloto run from his sister's room, where he found her lying in a pool of blood.

Moloto was arrested on Wednesday and charged with murder.
