Life in jail for man who stabbed child 12 times
The Delmas High Court sentenced Thabiso Montsho (29) to life in prison on March 28, for murdering his girlfriend's nephew in revenge for being dumped, in August 2011.
The three-year-old child was at home in Poto Street, Wattville, playing with his twin brother, when he was abducted.
Montsho, who also claimed to be a sangoma, stabbed the child 12 times and dumped his naked body near the Wattville Dam.
He was arrested following investigations by the Actonville police.
Montsho was sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering the boy, and a further eight years for kidnapping.
The Wattville community was pleased with the sentencing, saying Montsho deserves to be permanently removed from the community and to rot in jail.
Actonville police spokesman Capt Mack Mngomezulu said: “This job was well done by the investigating officer, WO Aaron Monkwe.”
