Social media reacts to Sandile Mantsoe’s conviction

8y By Kwanele Mathebula

Sandile Mantsoe was found guilty of premeditated murder, assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm & defeating the ends of justice in the muder case of Karabo Mokoena. Karabo’s body was found burnt beyond recognition by a passer-by in Lyndhurst, Johannesburg in April 2017.

Acting Judge Peet Johnson delivered the judgement at the High Court‚ sitting in Johannesburg‚ saying “there was nothing to be afraid of because everyone would see what he saw and get to the same conclusion that he did. He made no alarm or told anyone that she committed suicide which would be the first thing that any sound person would have done. The last thing a person would do if he finds a loved one who has committed suicide … would be to try and exonerate themselves. The accused caused the body of the deceased to burn beyond recognition and then tried to conceal the fact that she was dead and he got involved in a web of lies.” Sentencing will be take place on the 3rd of May 2018.

Here’s a look at what social media had to say.
