Manhunt launched for NW man who allegedly hacked girlfriend, 2 others
On Sunday morning, the bodies of the three victims were discovered at a house.
Moeka Vuma, a small town in North West, is on high alert as authorities launch a manhunt for a man suspected of brutally murdering his girlfriend, her sister, and her boyfriend. The alleged perpetrator, 41-year-old James Mohajane, is wanted for the alleged homicide of Moipone Lefoka, Esther Lefoka, and Tshepo Molekwa. All three victims were last seen together at Molekwa's residence, where their mutilated bodies were discovered on Sunday morning, hacked to death with a spade.
Police found Mohajane's cellphone at the crime scene, but the suspect was nowhere to be found. The motive behind the killings remains under investigation. The South African Police Service (SAPS) has appealed to the public for information regarding Mohajane's whereabouts, urging anyone with knowledge to contact Sergeant Nhlapo on 078 918 7746.
The public is advised not to confront or approach Mohajane, but to provide information to the authorities. The SAPS emphasizes its commitment to combating gender-based violence (GBV) and violent crimes targeting vulnerable groups, especially women, during Women's Month.
