Take care of my children – 'wife killer' pleads

The accused, Gomolemo Mmotlenyane, 40, who shares three children with his slain wife, is facing a single count of murder. He allegedly fatally stabbed his wife, Kebabope Mmotlenyane, 34, on May 24, 2023.

He killed Kebabope, a person living with albinism, at a counselling centre in an incident which sent shockwaves across the country. In court this morning, the murder-accused father pleaded with the court to direct social workers to assist in the care of his children, who are now parentless because of his action. The children are currently in the custody of his in-laws.
