(Scroll down for video) A man was arrested and a teen is dead after a woman was caught cheating.
The man of Johannesburg, South Africa, was very angry when he caught his wife in bed with another man. A fight broke out between the three.
The incident took place at Claim street near Bruce street in Hillbrow, on Tuesday afternoon.
The woman was cheating with a teen, who was identified as Nyasha Johwa, 16. The teen is a native of Zimbabwe.
Johwa was working in Johannesburg at the time of the incident.
The 16-year-old boy fell to his death from a sixth-floor window.
Now, police are investigating whether Johwa jumped during the fight or if he was pushed from the window of a nine-story building by the angry husband.
“I heard the husband shouting ‘you're cheating on me,’" neighbor Juliet Ndebele said.
The neighbor said that she then heard a loud noise. When she went to the window she saw the teen lying naked on the ground.
After seeing her lover dead on the ground, the distraught woman threatened to jump out of the window as well.
The couple has a 13-year-old son together.
The victim's older brother, John Johwa, 24, came to collect his brother’s belongings, but only found his jeans and sneakers, according to reports.
John Johwa said that his younger brother had stopped going to school last year and was working at a club in Sunninghill.
He also said that he was not sure what his younger brother was doing at that apartment.
Police have arrested the husband. He faces charges of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
It is also alleged that during the fight he hit his wife.
"We have opened an investigation file. We do not know if it is murder or if the teen jumped," police spokesman Constable Carol Mulamu said.
