Swelihle Duma, a 23-year-old woman from Thuthwini in Mthwalume, KwaZulu-Natal, has reportedly been killed in an alleged attack involving the father of her child.
According to information circulating about the incident, the man allegedly approached Duma while she was sitting with another woman, took her away, and left with her.
The following day, he reportedly appeared carrying their child and handed the baby to another woman, asking her to look after the child and saying the mother would come to collect the baby.
He was later allegedly seen gathering his belongings as though preparing to leave the area.
In a further development, the man reportedly broke down in tears and contacted a relative, allegedly confessing that he had killed the mother of his child and asking to be arrested.
The circumstances surrounding Duma’s death, including the precise location and time of the alleged attack, have not been independently confirmed in the information available.
Further details about whether the man has been arrested and whether police have opened a case are still awaited.
