The video is short, but the images linger still in the minds of those who saw it. A Durban Metro officer allegedly murdered his girlfriend, who happens to be a colleague, by stabbing her.
In the video, the woman is lying in bed, blood all over her chest and abdomen, a knife sticking out - upright, on her chest, and as she breathes painfully blood bubbles in her mouth. Her eyes are closed and you can see she is taking her last painful breath.
Yolanda Bianca Khuzwayo, is believed to be the woman in the video.
