LOBATSE: Two Gantsi men who robbed, murdered and burnt their former employer in a horror case that shook the region, today face the death penalty before High Court judge, Abednego Tafa.

Tshiamo Kgalalelo, 31, and Mmika Mpe, 27, in January 2014 attacked Reinette Vorster, stealing her Toyota Hilux valued at P300,000, two cellphones and cash amounting to P11,000. The former employer had been driving from her farm to Gantsi at the time of the attack. The two then murdered Vorster and burnt her in the vehicle.

Kgalalelo was arrested on February 3, 2014 at Vorster’s farm and Mpe the day after in connection with a separate incident. The duo had also been charged with sexual assault, but the court acquitted them of those charges due to insufficient evidence.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
