S. Africa: Woman Allegedly Stabs Boyfriend To Death Over WhatsApp Chat

By Owino Nyakiti


Free State police arrested a woman on Monday after she allegedly stabbed her boyfriend to death following her discovery of WhatsApp chats on his phone between him and another woman.

Police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Thabo Covane said officers received a domestic violence complaint at Lusaka on Sunday.

"A patrol vehicle was dispatched to the scene, and on arrival at the address, they met an African female, who led them to the back where the incident occurred," Covane said.

An onlooker told the officers that the 25-year-old man had an argument with the girlfriend over WhatsApp messages between him and another woman.


"The suspect became violent, and the victim removed her from the room and locked the door. The suspect is alleged to have gotten hold of a knife and gained entrance into the room through the back window and attacked the victim," Covane said.

"The witness forced the door open and discovered that the victim was lying motionless on the floor with a stab wound."

He was pronounced dead on the spot while the woman was arrested to be araigned at the Bloemfontein Magistrate's Court on a murder charge.

By Owino Nyakiti  September 17, 2022, is the deadline set by the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) to get rid of Digital Credit Providers (DCP) who will not have been registered with the regulator. This comes after President Uhuru Kenyatta last year signed the Central Bank Act 2021, that placed all digital lenders under CBK.
