According to reports, the woman was reluctant and fought him off. However, he succeeded in getting his wife to consume a portion of the poison. The man reportedly drank what was left in the bottle.
The family was reportedly having marital problems, which resulted in the woman moving out of her marital home. She stayed with a male friend at Johanna.
Reports are that her husband went to the house and demanded that his wife return home but the woman refused. It was then that he collected the poison and forced the woman to drink it.
