Obert Moyo, 46, killed Perseverance 'Percy' Ncube, 35, with a meat skewerA jealous ex-partner who murdered a mother of two in front of her children after she broke up with him for cheating has been jailed for life with a minimum of 27 years.
Clutching a mobile phone Ms Ncube dialled 999 and told an operator: 'There's a guy running after me, I know him' and she could be heard shouting: 'Someone please help me, please.' Prosecutor Eloise Marshall KC told Manchester Crown Court: 'The children can be heard in the background of the 999 call. One of them lays beside her in the street while the other prayed for their mother's life.'A rucksack that Moyo brought to the address was later found to have contained various items including a rusty hammer, a knife, a screwdriver, a black face mask and pictures showing the defendant and Ms Ncube.
Moyo was on licence at the time of the killing from a 14-year jail term imposed at Lewes Crown Court in January 2013 for attacking another woman following their relationship break-up. Moyo, who then lived in Brighton, was convicted of wounding with intent, threats to kill and aggravated burglary. In a victim personal statement, Ms Ncube's son said: 'Me and my sister have been robbed of our mother and our whole life. Every day with a burning pain, I miss her, I miss being able to hug her. I miss being able to talk to her. Mum I miss you and I will always love you.'
