A 39-year-old man is believed to have shot and killed his 30-year-old ex-girlfriend before turning the gun on himself this afternoon.


 

Police spokesperson Mavela Masondo says the shooting happened in Munsieville shortly before 13:00. 


 

"We have opened a case of murder-suicide. It's alleged the man shot and killed a woman believed to be his ex-girlfriend. We understand the woman was at her boyfriend's home when the shooting happened," he explains.
