Tragedy unfolded in a classroom in Mpumalanga province of South Africa when a teacher was gunned down by her husband down in full view of her pupils.
Kate Chiloane, 30, died when her husband, identified as Vusi Mdluli, shot her twice at Sedibasathutho primary school near Bushbuckridge on Monday, August 14, Tuko reports.
According Jasper Zwane, a provincial education department spokesperson, Mdluli entered the classroom under the pretext of fetching something from Chiloane.
He then reportedly shot himself at their home later!
Zwane said: “He then shot her but she managed to get away and tried running to the staff-room but he followed her and shot her again outside where she died.” Mdluli then reportedly went home and later shot himself too.
Zwane said Chiloane joined the school about a year ago. He added that pupils and teachers are traumatized by the tragic incident and that counseling is under way at the school.
Police indicated that they are investigating the unidentified husband’s motive for the murder. However, Mdluli’s Facebook profile features several disturbing posts about death in recent weeks.
