A warrant of arrest has been issued for Halimmah Thamando Mnyobisi, who is wanted for allegedly murdering her husband, Fezile Mnyobisi, in Botshabelo, Free State. 

On September 15, the deceased, 35, who was a teacher, was brought by his wife to hospital in a private vehicle and was declared dead on arrival. He had been stabbed more than 30 times. 

Police initially opened a case of robbery and murder at Botshabelo police station. 

“After intensive investigation by Botshabelo detectives working with the provincial investigative psychology section, three suspects were arrested after warrants of arrest were issued,” said police spokesperson Sgt Mahlomola Kareli.

Vusumuzi Daniel Nqele, 43, and Moeketsi Innocent Manko, 35, were arrested on November 8 for murder and conspiracy to murder. Further investigations led to the arrest of the deceased’s brother-in-law, Abdool Thamando, 35, in Johannesburg. 

Kareli said Halimmah Mnyobisi, 38, is on the run driving a black Mazda CX-5 with unknown registration.
