CAPE TOWN - The family of Sharon Kayster is seeking justice after she was killed allegedly by her ex-husband in a fit of jealousy in Cape Town.
Sixty-six-year-old Bafana Timotheus reportedly ran over Kayster three times in broad daylight, killing her on 18 April.
It is alleged that Kayster had been walking home from her new boyfriend's place when Timotheus struck her.

Neighbour, Mary-Ann Moses, said she witnessed the incident.
"I was at the back, and when I heard the bump, I came outside while in my yard. I saw the bakkie driving away, but I didn't know he had bumped her the first time.
"But when the bakkie came back, it reversed over the second time and the third time. I screamed at Timotheus, asking him what he was doing. He looked at me and drove away.
In March, Kayster applied for a protection order because Timotheus had allegedly threatened her with a gun.
This was the third protection order she had taken out against Timotheus.
Kayster's family believes the violence began four months into the marriage, and she'd lived in fear of the man.
At the time of the murder, Timotheus had been out on R1000 bail in connection with that incident.
As funeral arrangements are finalised, the family is seeking counselling services for Kayster's children, who witnessed the tragedy.
Timotheus will be back in court on 28 April for another bail application.
