“He refused and subsequently shot himself,” said Hadebe.
Paramedics were called to the scene, and he was pronounced dead on the scene.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the couple who originate from Lenyenye were coming from an event in KZN.
The motive behind the incident will be established by police investigations, but domestic violence related issues cannot be ruled out, Hadebe said.
“We are saddened by this incident because women are continuously being victimised and even killed by their partners. Community is still called to seek professional assistance when experiencing challenges in their relationships,” said Hadebe.
