POLOKWANE — Thohoyandou Police have launched a massive manhunt following the tragic murder of a 45-year-old woman by her husband during a church service sermon at Makonde Shadani village on Saturday, 30 March 2024, at about 18:00.

The suspect, whose age is currently unknown, fled the scene in a silver-grey Toyota Corolla following the abhorrent act. While the motive behind this appalling incident remains unclear, domestic violence cannot be ruled out.
