The Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg has found Dumisani Mkhwanazi guilty of the murder of Palesa Madiba, a student at the University of Johannesburg, on August 12, 2013.
Mkhwanazi was tried for Madiba’s murder after she disappeared after a pajama party at her friend Tshidi Mkhwanazi’s home in Phiri, Soweto.
Tshidi is the niece of the accused.
Madiba’s body was later discovered in the courtyard behind Tshidi’s home in December 2015 after a neighbor noticed an arm sticking out of a shallow grave, News24 reported.
Mkhwanazi faced charges of murder, aggravated robbery, defeating the administration of justice and illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition, and has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
