The man was killed by his girlfriend after his skull was fractured during the violent confrontation.
39yrs old Nkosilathi Ncube died on Wednesday after a scuffle with his live-in girlfriend, Florence.
A postmortem revealed that Ncube died due to the severe head injuries he sustained in Njube suburb area of Zimbabwe.
His aunt, Mrs Nomazulu regretted the incident. “We’re just coming from obtaining a post- mortem which revealed that he had a crack in the skull and his brain was full of blood. He was severely assaulted,” she said.
She added that there are still a lot of unanswered questions to be answered over what could have happened leading to Ncube's death.
Lamenting on the death of her nephew, Mrs Nomazulu added: “When I got there he was struggling to breath. Within 20 minutes he died while I was in the house."
She said what they heard was that Ncube was fighting with his girlfriend before police intervened.
Mrs Dube, who was Ncube’s landlady, said there had been no peace between the couple. She said she had called police on several occasions over their fights but their troubles never ended.
“They would fight from time to time. And on Tuesday they started at around 9PM and I phoned the police who told me that their members were on patrol. They came after two hours and broke into their room before taking them away to the police station.”

She said the couple returned at around 3AM with Ncube struggling to breath.
“I quizzed them on what was wrong because he was struggling to breath. At around 6AM his girlfriend rushed to Mr Ncube’s relatives but they delayed coming. I had already informed the police that he was struggling to breath. At about 7AM he died,” Mrs Dube said.
She said she was still in shock as to what transpired.
The man's girlfriend has since been arrested.
