  "account": "Several witnesses have testified in the Cape Town Magistrate's Court regarding the death of 22-year-old Anele Tembe on April 11, 2021. One independent witness stated that he overheard an argument between a man and a woman shortly before Tembe's death. He described hearing the woman scream \"leave me alone\", \"Get away from me\", followed by a wailing sound and a loud bang. Initially thinking the sound was a gunshot, the witness went outside and found Tembe on the ground. Not initially believing she was dead due to signs of life, he called emergency services.",
