Murder-suicide: Limpopo paramedic kills wife, before turning gun on himself

Limpopo police are investigating a case of murder and inquest after a couple died in a suspected murder-suicide incident in Senwabarwana. 

The 55-year-old paramedic allegedly shot and killed his 44-year-old wife on Sunday, who is also a paramedic.

The woman had a protection order against her husband. 

Police spokesperson Motlafela Mojapelo says after the woman obtained a protection order, the husband reportedly decided to move out of the house to stay in a rented room in the area.

“It is alleged that the wife visited her husband at his rented room this morning at 6am. He allegedly took out a firearm and shot his wife and thereafter shot himself.” 

Police officers found both bodies lying in a street with gunshot wounds.
