Nqobile Maphisa, the sister of one of the accused m_rder suspects in the Senzo Meyiwa case has allegedly taken her life, source recently reported.
The sister of accused number 3 in Senzo Meyiwa’s m_rder trial was reported to have passed away on Wednesday morning after taking rat poison. She is said to have d!3d at the age of 27.
According to the publication, Mthokozisi Maphisa’s other sister Sinqobile has dismissed allegations that Nqobile was poisoned to silence her.
“We don’t have all the details on what made her decide to k!ll herself and her unborn baby. Nqobile was seven months pregnant. She seemed happy that she was going to become a mother herself. We know this has nothing to do with our brother or Senzo Meyiwa’s case,” Sinqobile was quoted as saying.
Sinqobile has reportedly expressed that she is still struggling to come to terms of her sister’s death. “The pain hits straight to my heart because I never expected this from her,” Sinqobile was quoted as saying.
Plans to get Nqobile’s body back to KwaZulu-Natal from Johannesburg were reported to be already in motion. Details for Nqobile’s burial have not yet been revealed.
Mthokoziseni Maphisa and the other accused, Muzikawukhulelwa Sibiya, Bongani Sandiso Ntanzi, Mthobisi Prince Mncube, and Fisokuhle Ntuli are still standing trial for the m_rder of Senzo Meyiwa. The late soccer player was k!ll3d on 26 October 2014 at just 27 years old.
The five men face several charges including premeditated murder, attempted murder, robbery with aggravated circumstances, possession of firearms without a license, and possession of ammunition.
“I’m currently in hiding after I received threats following me doing interviews with the media on my brother’s wrongful arrest,” Sinqobile was quoted as saying.
