LAKESIDE – The 23-years-old is said to be murdered over his newly found lover, by a jealous ex-bae.
According to neighbours, the ex-lover came on Friday and broke windows at the deceased place, also damaging valuables such as wardrobe, washiing machine among many other things.
On Saturday, December 24, the suspect together with three passengers in his Silver Mercedes Viano jumped out the car and mercilessly murdered Temogo Mutileni, leaving him lying in a pool of blood.
Residents came out in their numbers and watched as police and forensic pathologists investigated the scene where from a distance, the lifeless body of Temogo could be seen covered in a foil.
Speaking to Sedibeng Ster at their family home in Lakeside Estate, Rebecca Mutileni (64), mother to the deceased said she was heartbroken following the murder of her son.
“Temogo stays alone her. What we were told is that he was killed by a 43-year-old man who was fighting him because of his ex-girlfriend or baby daddy. On Friday, the man apparently came to the house and ransacked the house, damaging my son’s things before breaking all the house windows”.
“When we asked his friends, where he was gunned down, the friend told us he heard gunshots and when he got outside, he was also told that the same man who crashed his windows is the one who killed him,” she said.
Rebecca said she wants justice for her son and wishes to see Temogo’s killer.
“My son was just 23-years-old. He didn’t deserve to die like that. We had hoped for many positives things from him. I want to see my son’s killer and ask him why he did what he did.
“I am devastated and heartbroken. All I want is justice for my son,” said the whipping mother.
Sedibeng Ster visited the home of the girlfriend in question and she refused to comment.
“I am tired of talking about this issue. I really think I have said a lot. I don’t have the energy to say more,” said the woman only known as Kedibone.
