A decade behind bars for PE doctor who shot his wife in the face


A Port Elizabeth doctor who tried to kill his wife last year was sentenced in the Regional Court on Wednesday to 10-years in prison.

The 50-year-old Dr Mkhuseli Boto and his wife argued in their home in Summerstrand when he pointed a gun in her face.

A spokesperson for the Nasional Prosecuting Authority Anelisa Ngcakani says when the wife tried to push the gun away, Boto pulled the trigger which hit her on the side of her face.

The victim was rushed to hospital where the bullet was removed from her left ear.

The State said during the trial that Boto showed no remorse and tried to portray his wife as a liar.
