Last July, seven families watched their loved ones head off to join in the looting in Tembisa Plaza in Ekurhuleni and they have not seen them since - either dead or alive.
With the City of Tshwane cutting off electricity and water for non paying customers, fraudsters decided that they were going to make a quick buck out of the situation.
The family of Lebo Monene, an Assistant Nurse at the Tembisa Hospital who was shot dead by her policeman husband on Wednesday, said the two had been locked in an abusive relationship for years.
Driving a Golf GTI equipped with blue lights, the constable entered the premises of the Tembisa Hospital and parked in front of the offices where gender-based violence victims report their cases.
