This was heard on Friday when both the state and defense advocates concluded their arguments.

Boyfriend back in court after girlfriend’s head was found in fridge
Kebe, who allegedly beheaded his girlfriend in their flat in April last year and left her head in the fridge, was arrested at his place of work on West Street shortly after the body of Sibongile Zenzile (28) was discovered on April 26, 2019.
After several appearances in the Kempton Park Magistrate’s Court, the matter was transferred to the South Gauteng High Court, following the decision by the director of public prosecutions.
As a result, Kebe was transferred from the Kempton Park SAPS holding cells to Sun City Prison in Johannesburg on November 12.
Kebe is facing two charges, one for murder and another for the violation of a corpse.
The magistrate told the court last year that the allegation was that on April 25, Kebe unlawfully and intentionally stabbed Zenzile several times and killed her.
The second count is one of violating a corpse, where the allegation is that the accused unlawfully tried to dispose of Zenzile’s body by cutting off her head and placing it in the fridge.
Following the pre-trial at the South Gauteng High Court in December, the trial resumed on March 16, 2020.
