Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Mlondi Cele committed suicide after he stabbed his babymama, Bongeka Makhathini, to death in eMgababa as he believed he is not the baby’s biological father.

Man who allegedly killed girlfriend and son suspected the child was not his

A WhatsApp voice note sent by a KwaZulu-Natal man who allegedly killed his girlfriend, Bongeka Makhathini, 21, and their three-year-old son Okuhle, accusing her of giving birth to a child that was not his, is believed to be what caused the death of the trio.

Mlondi Cele, 24, was found hanging in the lounge of an RDP house in Danganya, uMgababa, south of Durban.

Makhathini’s body was found in the bedroom while her son was found metres away. Both the woman and the child had had their throats slit.

A distraught Bheki Cele, the former minister of police, who is Mlondi’s uncle, said that at 5.50am on Friday he had received the shattering news of the trio’s demise. He said his nephew had sent a voice note to a relative informing them of his intention to kill himself.

“He told one of the relatives where we should find the keys to the house they were in,” said Cele. READ MORE HERE

A cellphone belonging to Makhathini was found badly damaged and cracked.

He said Mlondi, who had been unemployed, would also succumb to bouts of bad temper.

“I am guessing it had been more than four or five months that he was out of a job. He used to work for someone who was contracted to the municipality,” said Cele.

He said the house in which the murders took place had belonged to Mlondi’s father, who was murdered three years ago.

He said as members of the family they were also haunted by the trail of destruction caused to the Makhathini family.

“We just wish that he would have taken a decision to kill only himself and not the other two innocent people,” said Cele.

He said they had also met the grieving Makhathini family, who were overcome with emotion when the bodies of the trio were being retrieved in the morning.
