TOP NPROVINCE ATTORNEY MURDERED

TOP Northern Province attorney Khatutshelo Mulovhedzi was shot dead on Tuesday morning when he opened his door to his girlfriend. Police spokesperson Captain Ailwei Mushavhanamadi said a gunman forced Mulovhedzi’s girlfriend, Dr Naledzani Khwananda, to knock on the door at about 7.00am. When Mulovhedzi opened the door he was shot several times in the upper body and died on the spot. Khwananda managed to telephone the police from Mulovhedzi’s home before the suspect shot and seriously injured her. When police arrived at the house the gunman fired several shots in their direction before he shot himself. Both he and Khwananda were rushed to the Tshilidzi hospital, where she works. The gunman apparently had a relationship with Khwananda before she became involved with the attorney.
