World karate, continental and SA boxing female champion, Leighandre Jegels, was shot and killed on Friday, by her police officer boyfriend, whom she had a protection order against.

Her mother was also shot in the attack and was rushed to an East London hospital. The 37-year-old boyfriend was later arrested after the hired white Mercedes-Benz he had been driving was involved in an accident. .

One person was also killed in the accident while four others were injured. Jegels and the accused lived together in Cove Rock until she obtained a protection order against him.

The South African boxer did report allegations of domestic violence against him. Jegels had been training for her ring return against Siphosethu Nxazonke in a junior-bantamweight non-title clash in Mthatha on October 2.

He should rot away in prison

Even after she left him, he still killed her.

Please my Nigerian sisters, NEVER stay with an abusive partner. There is no gain. It is not virtuous. Please respect your life and vamooz!!

Please if you know your boyfriend/girlfriend exhibits any sign of battery, please dump him/her right away. It is an order. Whether he/she has slapped you before and apologised or he/she resemble person wey dey vex, please dump.

What

Strange news

Ask me again, i love to be human because God would only only judge me based on what i know. Ignorance is an excuse before Him. Invariably, you must move closer into your spiritual life. That side never lies (you are very conscious choosing between good and bad). Who is any rationale whenever angry? Move closer to Nature naturally without any 'said' rule.

This one weak me ooo

Love gone sour

Just like that?

South Africans and violence.
If not for Book Haram and herdsmen, Nigeria would be more peaceful than SA and USA

Is the abusive boyfriend South African? Because those SA men seem to have a screw loose all the time, and don't know how to handle rejection

Don't be surprised that the guy would start blaming foreigners.

I agree with you 100%. But there is an angle to this which is often very underreported or not reported at all - abusive women. Some women traumatize their men (husband's and male friends) emotionally through terrible verbal abuse. This is real. I know because I have seen it severally

behead the monster

Escape from abusive relationships.

SAD....

S.A and killing of girl friends sef.

E be like say the rate of crimes in our country can now be equated to the ones that do happen in SA

May her soul rest in peace
