The distraught sister of lawyer Thandokuhle Mkhize whose throat was slit, allegedly by her estranged husband, says their family is struggling to come to terms with the loss.
Thobeka Ntsevu was speaking after a brief appearance by metro policeman Qiniso Thulasizwe Sishi, 40, in the Durban magistrates court on Monday.
Mkhize was stabbed multiple times in the early hours of July 28 at their home in Woodlands, south of Durban.
Its sad and traumatic for us to see someone allegedly linked to the brutal murder of our sister walking free and having the privilege of being alive while our sister is no more. Its also someone who had promised to love my sister, said Ntsevu.
The couple had recently married and this left the family with more questions than answers.
