A South African pilot reportedly took his own life when he flew a plane into a building in Botswana in an apparent attempt to kill his wife on Saturday.

Several reports indicated that pilot Charl Viljoen flew a twin-engine aircraft into the clubhouse of the Matsieng Flying Club at Matsieng airstrip, just outside the capital, Gaborone. Upon impact, the plane and building went up in flames, which also destroyed a nearby control tower and about 13 vehicles.
