Five sentenced to lengthy jail terms for Free State man's murder
CAPE TOWN - The Bloemfontein High Court has sentenced five men to lengthy jail terms for the murder of a 27-year-old man in Thaba Nchu, Free State police said on Wednesday.
“It was on April 1, 2017 when seven males from Morolong in Thaba Nchu were enjoying themselves on a night outing. During the night the victim as well as Mnyamezeli Majuba went to his home to drop off some money then returned to a local tavern to further enjoy themselves,” said Xuma in a statement. Xuma said the victim managed to crawl to the kitchen and the neighbor who saw the fire alerted the police. After the fire had been extinguished, Monnapule was found dead in the kitchen. The post mortem results revealed that he died due to smoke inhalation and was also found with bullet wounds to the buttocks.
