MBABANE – A man who was securing a pastor’s new site has lost his life
allegedly in the hands of his workmate.
The incident which is believed to have occurred in the early hours of yesterday
happened at Extension Three in Mbabane.
Information gathered from those found at the scene was to the effect that the
duo was drinking together before returning to their workplace.
It could not be established what happened when they met at the shack that was
occupied by the deceased, identified as Wandile Hlophe, who provided security
services at the site.
Those who arrived early at the scene yesterday said Hlophe’s workmate, who was
doing a separate job at the site, was found with bloodstains and some wounds in
his hands, something which left them with the view that there was a fight prior
to the death of the security guard.
A pool of blood which is suspected to have been from the security guard’s was
found next to his mattress. Bloodstains were all over the machinery housed in
the shack.
The machinery included a brick maker, spades, screw driver, shovels and brush
cutter among other items.
The police who were found at the scene concentrated on the spades which were
covered in blood. As a result, some were taken as evidence.
“There are no bloodstains from outside the shack which is a possibility that
the man was killed inside his shack,” observed one man found at the scene.
The property owner, the pastor, confirmed the incident; however, he did not want
his name published since he arrived at the scene after being called regarding
the incident.
Noted was that the shocked pastor took a closer look at the corpse of his
employee as it was loaded into a police van.
