JOHANNESBURG - A KwaZulu-Natal man who took to social media to confess to killing his girlfriend has been found hanging from a tree. 

Police say they discovered the body of the woman with several stab wounds in Umzinto on Tuesday.

Sibusiso Lawrence posted the video on his Facebook page which has been widely circulated online.
 
"You will say I am being ruthless, I have tried and worked hard in my life trying to satisfy a woman. Trying to make her happy, trying to make a woman happy. I have tried really hard, I have lost a lot of things and a lot of money, lots of everything. She gave birth to a child who is not mine and I have taken care of her. She got tired of me and rejected me as she was about to get RAF [Road Accident  Fund] that I helped with. She broke up with me."

At the end of the video, Lawrence shows the body of the victim in his car.

The police's Robert Netshiunda revealed the couple is believed to have been in a gender-based violence-related altercation.

"Police are investigating a case of murder and an inquest docket will also be opened for further investigation," he said.
