Witbank - A 48-year-old age man appeared in the Siyabuswa magistrate's court on Tuesday in connection with the murder of his second wife and attempted murder of his daughter last Friday, Mpumalanga police said on Wednesday.

Captain Malcolm Mokomene said Piet Mbangwa Motshweni walked into his house and found his wife speaking to someone on her 24-year-old daughter's cellphone.

"The husband suspected his wife was cheating on him and did not believe that the victim's brother was on the cellphone. He went outside and returned minutes later with his licensed firearm."

Mokomene said the victim Johanna Anna Mahlangu and the daughter ran to a neighbour's house for help.

Motshweni followed the two and fired two shots in his daughter's direction, which missed her. He then fired four shots at his wife, fatally wounding her.

He was not given bail.
