A COP EXECUTED HER HUSBAND AFTER A SANTOMA DISPUTE—AND TRIED TO LIE HER WAY OUT. THE BALLISTICS BLEW HER STORY APART.
A Gauteng police sergeant will spend 17 years behind bars for the cold-blooded murder of her husband. But the shocking evidence reveals this was no crime of passion—it was a calculated execution.
Kate Lindiwe Hlongwane, 47, shot her husband Russel multiple times with her service pistol in the early hours of the morning. The trigger? A furious argument after he discovered she had visited a sangoma against his wishes. He had threatened to take her to his parents “to learn discipline.”
But her claim in court—that the gun went off during a struggle—was a TOTAL LIE.
The state’s ballistic expert delivered the knockout blow: the fatal shots were fired FROM A DISTANCE. This wasn’t an accident. This was murder. The evidence proved she aimed her state-issued weapon and fired.
While she begged for leniency as a mother of three, the state prosecutor slammed her lack of remorse. The murder caused such a deep family rift that her own relatives didn’t attend her husband’s funeral. Even the judge agreed she showed zero regret.
A trained police officer, sworn to protect, instead used her power and her gun to commit the ultimate act of domestic terror. She thought her badge would cover her tracks.
It didn’t.
The system worked this time, but it begs the question: who else is hiding behind a uniform?
