'He said that if she wanted to break up with him he was going to kill her.'

Nosipho Bhengu, who is under cross-examination by the defence, took the witness stand on Monday as the second week of Thabani Mzolo's trial got under way.

Bhengu told the court that Mzolo, Khumalo's ex-boyfriend, had been abusing her and that to her knowledge, she had ended the relationship just two days before her death."I remember incidents when she would come back with bruises on her neck and she said he had strangled her because he didn't want her to end the relationship," said Bhengu.

Khumalo died on the floor as a result of gunshot wounds to her head and chest. Mzolo was arrested shortly after.
