The man said at around 45 minutes later, Roberts returned to find that someone had destroyed some items that he sold in a shop.
The area where the murder occurred.
Roberts allegedly struck his reputed wife and the two began to fight.
It is alleged that Roberts struck his partner with a pipe. The scuffle continued for about another 10 minutes, after which the woman was heard sobbing.
One neighbour went over to the shop to find the woman standing over Roberts while pressing a bloody towel on his chest.
Roberts was also clutching the towel.
The woman, in desperation, also applied Limacol and water to the wounded man’s face.
The police came, and an ambulance subsequently arrived and took Roberts to the hospital where he later succumbed.
Roberts’s partner was taken into custody, but police later returned to the scene with the suspect.
The ranks also took a kitchen knife from the scene.
