In other news, Briefly News previously reported that Relatives of the slain Tembisa Hospital nurse, Lebogang Monene, are seemingly shifting the blame for her death at the hands of her police officer lover.
Monene, 36, was gunned down at Tembisa Hospital on Gauteng's East Rand nearly two weeks ago. An altercation between the nurse and her boyfriend, who entered the parking lot of the hospital in a marked vehicle, is believed to have led to her shooting death.
The perpetrator then turned the gun on himself but survived the incident. News24 reported that the constable has been discharged from the intensive care unit (ICU) but is yet to be interviewed by the detectives investigating the case.
