BEHEADED WOMAN: HUBBY LEADS COPS TO THE HEAD

MEHLWABOVU – The search for the missing head of the recently discovered dead woman yesterday ended at a hollow opening beneath boulders, leaving a bitter taste in the mouths of residents who witnessed the exercise.

The gruesome discovery of the woman’s body was made by a resident who had gone to the hill to cut logs around Mehlwabovu Hill on Monday.
An investigation that ensued reportedly led detectives to the woman’s husband, who was subsequently charged with her murder. The 33-year-old Muzi Khumalo has apparently confessed to the murder.

His alleged victim was identified as Cebsile Gcinile Mhlanga of Bulunga, in the outskirts of Manzini.

As a continuation of their investigation, detectives swarmed the man’s home area of Ekwendzeni yesterday, shortly after 10am.
The heavy presence of police officers raised the curiosity of residents, as the team of detectives as well as media personnel were led to the cave-like opening beneath huge boulders at the foot of Mehlwabovu Hill, where the man employed as a driver for a certain contractor based in Matsapha, had allegedly hidden the head of his murdered wife.

Khumalo, who was also described as a traditional healer of sorts, had volunteered to point out a shallow grave where he had initially buried his wife after allegedly killing her, and as well as the place where he eventually  stuffed her head after hacking it off in a bid to conceal her identity.

Khumalo allegedly killed his wife sometime in July, following a quarrel.
He then allegedly buried her body in a shallow grave of about a metre deep, which he had dug about 150 metres away from his homestead, before returning to his workplace.

Days went by without anybody realising what the man had allegedly done, and even his neighbours did not have any inkling about the brutal murder that had taken place in their vicinity.
