The University of Western Cape student was filmed brazenly gutting his partner inside a campus residence on Saturday. Horrified students were stupefied, doing nothing more than filming the incident, as Sinoxolo twisted and turned while her husband delivered deathly blows with a sharp knife to her torso.
Finally, after more than 20 slashes, Myalo abandoned his brutal onslaught.
In the video footage doing the rounds on social media, several male students were seen trying to reason with Ntembeko, attempting to move him away from Sinoxolo, who, by then, was bleeding to death.
Miraculously, the wife, who, it’s believed, is registered at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT), clung on to life until paramedics arrived.
Sinoxolo, Cape Town police spokesperson Captain FC van Wyk confirmed, is currently recovering from life-threatening wounds.
Myalo was also treated by medics, but not due to any injuries inflicted by his wife. Instead, after witnesses managed to subdue the UWC student, he was caught on camera being stomped and severely beaten by a mob.
According to Captain Van Wyk, Myalo was arrested “and is currently under police guard in hospital.”
“Belhar police registered an attempted murder case following a stabbing incident on Saturday, [11 November 2023] afternoon at a student accommodation in Belhar, where a 26 year old female student was injured. Circumstances surrounding this stabbing incident are under investigation,” the police statement read.
While a motive was not yet established, murmurs doing the rounds on social media suggest Myalo may have attempted to take his wife’s life after she reportedly stated her intentions to end their marriage.
Albeit, any narrative not formally verified by authorities should be taken with a grain of salt.
This is a developing story.
