A local spotted the victim and immediately called the police.
Mohomane suffered a fatal injury to the back of his head and Amos was arrested on July 15, 2019. After his appearance in the Balfour District Court on February 4, he was found guilty of murder and assault.
He was sentenced to 15 years’ imprisonment for murder and six years for assault, which included the case opened against him by his girlfriend and a separate assault case stemming from 2018.
