The partner to the deceased who has not yet been identified by his family is said to be in a critical condition and has been hospitalised at Letsholathebe II Memorial Hospital. Bagai further encouraged the public not to bottle up issues, but speak up if they have any problems instead of resorting to violence. He said people have been exhibiting frightening lack of anger control adding that most of the passion killings occur as a result of petty issues and insecurity amongst partners that could have been avoided if people could consider talking things out when troubled.
