29-year-old Felix Maphosa from Gaza E, Chipinge, appeared in the Chipinge Magistrates’ Court on Monday, January 6, 2025, facing murder charges.
He is accused of killing his 47-year-old wife by striking her in the head with a hammer and driving a nail into her chest.
According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), the incident stemmed from a domestic dispute that arose on December 31, 2024.
Maphosa allegedly discovered that his wife was taking birth control pills without his knowledge, which triggered a heated argument that sadly turned fatal.
During the altercation, Maphosa reportedly struck his wife three times on the head with an iron bar. He then used a hammer to drive a nail into her chest.
After the attack, he left for a beer hall, only to return the following morning to find her dead.
Maphosa has been remanded in custody until January 17, 2025, and he has been advised to apply for bail at the high court.
