MAN HELD FOR KILLING SISTER PUPIL’S LOVER

MBABANE - Accusations of being in a love relationship with a pupil have allegedly resulted in a man losing his life.

Information gathered was that Thabo Lukhele was allegedly stabbed to death by the pupil’s brother who was against the duo’s alleged relationship.
It is alleged that after learning about the relationship, Celumusa Maziya (20) of Siteki, forced his sister to show him the alleged boyfriend’s house.  Upon arrival at the alleged boyfriend’s house, it is alleged that Maziya found the farmer’s brother.

Maziya was told that Lukhele was not around, however, while still in the house, the alleged boyfriend entered.
It is believed that Maziya uttered some unpalatable words prior to allegedly stabbing Lukhele with a knife, which he had hidden in his clothes. Lukhele suffered a fatal wound from which he died. 

Surrendered

Information gathered was that Maziya fled the scene and was nowhere to be seen after the incident. It was alleged that he was later surrendered to the police by his grandfather.

The murder of Lukhele crated enmity to the extent that Maziya’s family was allegedly attacked by a faction which was angered by the murder of former.
Maziya has since appeared at the Mbabane Magistrates Court where he recorded a confession before a judicial officer. He appeared before Magistrate Sifiso Vilakati charged with murder.

The Crown applied that he be remanded in custody until next Friday pending committal to the High Court. He was advised to move a bail application at the High Court due to the nature of the offence he was charged with.
