Deceased’s lover wanted for questioning

Deceased’s lover wanted for questioning NAMPA

The police are searching for the boyfriend of the woman found dead under a bridge in Khomasdal on Sunday.

City Police spokesperson Fabien Amukwelele said the man and the deceased, identified as Brenda ‘Lotty’ Mouton-Smith, had lived together under the bridge where her body was found.

“He is wanted for questioning because there are strong suspicions from both friends and relatives that he might have links to the murder of his girlfriend,” Amukwelele said.

A cousin of the suspect told Nampa that the couple lived together under the bridge, while their one-and-a-half-year-old daughter lived with the suspect's mother.

He last saw the suspect on Saturday at around 22:00.

“However, he is now nowhere to be found; all we heard is that he is now running around town,” the cousin said on condition of anonymity.

He pleaded with anyone who knows his cousin’s whereabouts to help the police track down the suspect in order to figure out what exactly had happened.

“We just find it very strange that he decided to disappear all of a sudden because if he is innocent, he should come and prove his innocence,” he said.
