The groom was arrested just when he arrived at the wedding venue at Danai gardens before his fiancé arrived.

We remained at the venue mouths agape and hands akimbo; we did not know what to do. The bride arrived at the venue only to be welcomed by the saddening news that her lover was now in police custody,” said the source.

Efforts to get a comment from the police were fruitless.
