The argument took place on Wednesday night, said Free State police spokesperson Brig Motantsi Makhele.
The tenant was sitting on the balcony with her landlord’s wife, when the 63-year-old landlord arrived, accusing her of not paying rent and threatening to switch off her electricity connection.“The argument allegedly led to exchange of blows and the two fought in the bedroom where the 63-year-old held the [tenant] down on top of the bed, strangling her.
“The tenant managed to reach for a glass plate and allegedly smashed it against the 63-year-old’s head.”Emergency services were called but he was declared dead at the scene.Free State provincial commissioner Lt-Gen Baile Motswenyane urged people to come up with alternate ways to resolve disputes. “Let us try to communicate verbally and address issues appropriately without having to engage in fights.
