A relative of the murdered housewife had told this publication that they had received information that one of the man’s relatives is hiding him in the city.

According to a police source close to the investigation, the 11-year-old girl informed them that she was in her room when she heard her stepfather demanding sex from her mother.

“When she see her mother she start scream and she run and call out for the neighbours who then informed us,” the police source said.
No one reported hearing any noise coming from the house. Neighbours had said that the couple fought and quarreled very often.
