The South Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg sentenced two s$x workers to life imprisonment for the m_rder of a 29-year-old customer in Sandton.
Phindi Mjonondwane, a National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson in Gauteng, stated that the event occurred on April 13, 2019, when two women, Refilwe Mokgotlo, 29, and Julia Rihlampfu, 33, traveled from Pretoria to a tavern in Fourways in search of clients.
Mjonondwane claimed that the investigating officer stated that Mokgotlo k*lled the man by str@ngling him with a charging cord.
His father grew anxious when he attempted to contact him but was unable to locate him. A family friend was requested to come to his home and conduct a wellness check.
“At approximately 3am, the deceased accepted their services and left with them to his Sandton residence. After purchasing food, the deceased had consensual s3x with Mokgotlo whilst Rihlampfu was in the other room. However, an altercation ensued during the intercourse,” explained Mjonondwane.
“The friend visited the deceased’s residence, gained entry and discovered his lifeless body on the floor and alerted the police. A video footage from the complex further revealed the deceased entering his residence accompanied by two women, who were later seen exiting the complex with his house keys.
“Fingerprints lifted from the crime scene matched those of the accused, substantiating their involvement in the crime,” added Mjonondwane.
