Life imprisonment for man who kills girlfriend

Provincial Police Commissioner Nneke Ledwaba welcomed the sentencing of Takalani Godfrey Radzilani, 38, to life imprisonment by the Thohoyandou High Court last week following his conviction on a charge of murdering his girlfriend in April 2016.
Provincial Police Spokesperson Moatshe Ngoepe indicated that Radzilani was arrested in April 2016 in connection with a domestic-related incident which led to the death of his girlfriend Portia Raselabe (32).
Radzilani stabbed Raselabe several times with a sharp object at Zone 1 in the Mphephu Policing precinct outside Thohoyandou.
Neighbours who heard the woman screaming for help alerted the Police who responded immediately and on the scene found a woman lying in a pool of blood in addition to having sustained serious injuries to her head. Emergency services were called but upon arrival declared that the victim had expired, according to Ngoepe.
