Mpe’s death row inmate Kgalalelo died last year May at Princess Marina Hospital (PMH) where he was hospitalised followed referral from the prison sickbay. The deceased had been on death row since 2017 and their sentence was confirmed early last year following a failed appeal.

Back in 2014 the two farm hands attacked Vorster, stole her Toyota Hilux valued at P300,000, two cellphones and cash amounting to P11,000. The duo attacked their former employer when she was driving from her farm to Gantsi, murdered and burnt her inside the vehicle.
