Netshiunda said that MaMkhize’s house is divided into two parts, a northern and southern part.
“There is a northern part and a southern part. The woman lives in the northern part and the man in the southern part because they are going through a divorce. It is in the southern part where the man lives where the robbers tried to strike.”
He added that it was still difficult to speculate if the robbers had a specific target in mind.
“The investigation will continue and we will talk to the apprehended suspect once he is up to it.”
This is a developing story.
