So when he peeked through the window and allegedly saw her kissing another man, he flew into a murderous rage.
The 28-year-old allegedly kicked open the door and first stabbed the 43-year-old woman in the stomach, before turning his fury on the man.
Daniel de Wee (49) was stabbed in the chest and died in the woman’s backyard shack in Rietpoort, Smithfield in the Free State on Monday.
The dead man’s cousin, Nondaba Thasu (45), denied that Daniel had been in a relationship with the woman.
“My cousin and the woman were neighbours who grew up together. He would often visit her to ask for sugar or salt.”
She said she was at home on Monday when she heard a woman screaming in the backyard shack next to their property.
“I went to investigate and found a young man holding a bloody knife.
“He told me he was sorry and said he thought something was going on between my cousin and the woman.
“My cousin was murdered for no reason.
“I hope he rots in jail,” said Nondaba.
Police spokesman Sergeant Yanga Ngcukana said cops were investigating a case of murder and assault, after a man was found dead and a woman rushed to Stoffel Coetzee Hospital in Smithfield for treatment.
Ngcukana said the suspect was arrested at the scene and a murder weapon was found and confiscated.
“The suspect is expected to appear in the Smithfield Magistrates Court soon .”
