Stay tuned: Sentencing proceedings of Themba Thubane in the Albino muthi murder case about to start
Sentencing of Themba Thobela, one of four men accused of Albino muthi murders of Gabisile Shabani and her one-year-old cousin Nkosikhona Ngwenya, is about to start in the Middelburg High Court.
Thubane plead guilty to the murders and confessed to throwing the one year old boy into a river alive, before killing Gabisile for body parts.
The other three accused, Thokozani Msibi, Brilliant Mkhize, and Knowledge Mhlanga, plead not guilty on the charges of murder and kidnapping.
The courtroom is packed to the brim and a big ANC presence is currently protesting outside the magistrates court building where a big screen has been erected for court proceedings to be broadcast.
The police’s public order unit is present in court to ensure matters proceed without incident.
Both children were abducted from their home before being killed.
