The South African man accused of murdering and burning his lover, Sandile Mantsoe, has appeared before a Johannesburg Magistrates Court where looked remorseless and defiant, reports Times Live.
It is reported that the 27-year-old Mantsoe who allegedly murdered and burnt Karabo Mokoena
on April 28, 2017, in the Diepkloof region of Soweto, did not express
any feeling of guilt as he walked into the courtroom dressed in an
Adidas jacket‚ with his gold and black hair glistening in the light of
the courtroom.
He is standing trial for the premeditated murder and burning the body of Karabo with whom he is said to have been in a relationship.
According to new revelations in court by the victim's father, Tshepo Mokoena,
Mantsoe did not kill his daughter by mistake as his family was seen on
CCTV cleaning the apartment where he murdered her and leaving with the
clothes.
Mokoena also confirmed that Mantsoe pointed out the scene where he allegedly dumped Karabo after he was arrested.
Before
the brief trial was postponed to the May 24 for a formal bail
application, Mantsoe was warned that he faces life in prison should he
be convicted of the brutal murder while he will remain in custody
pending hearing on his bail application.
Police said they discovered the body of the burnt Karabo in Lyndhurst and further investigations led to the arrest of Mantsoe.
