Neighbours of a man and his wife arrested for the murder of the woman's ex-boyfriend Sibusiso Sithebe have told of how she cried hysterically on the night a body was found in their house.
This they said had led them to believe that it was Lerato Mahlangu's husband Sibusiso who was found dead on the bed in the house in Block HH in Soshanguve, north of Pretoria on January 2 last year.
“When one of the neighbours opened the door to spray water with a hosepipe, he discovered that there was a body in one of the bedrooms. It was on the bed.”“I peeped through the window and saw a body and I believed it was Sibusiso because the body type is the same. The person was facing up as though he was sleeping with a blanket covering him from the waist down.”
“Pathologists took the body out and had it covered in foil. She [the relative] fainted and we assume it was because of shock. Before the body was taken out, she had gone to the bedroom to see it.” “The driver of the vehicle was arrested and charged with possession of a suspected stolen motor vehicle. Upon questioning the suspect, it was established that he allegedly killed and burnt a person in Soshanguve in January 2022, before he fled to Mpumalanga. A case of murder was added,” he said.Little did they know that he had been murdered and buried under pretence that he was Mahlangu.Sithebe and Lerato had a daughter together.
One of the neighbours said she was in disbelief when she saw Mahlangu whom she believed was dead, being walked into his home by the police handcuffed and shackled, a year after he was supposedly buried.
