Wife slain after refusing sex, then 'raped' | |||
2006-02-24 | |||
Another heart-warming tale from South-Africa. A man who stabbed his wife in the neck because she would not have sex with him and then proceeded to have sex with the bloodied woman has been convicted of murder. The 41-year-old father will be sentenced in the Pretoria High Court on Friday for killing his common-law wife in June last year. He also faced a charge of rape, but he was convicted of attempted rape as the court could not determine whether his wife was alive or dead by the time he had sex with her.
The killer was also convicted of assault for kicking and slapping his 17-year-old daughter, who had tried to come to her mother's aid. The murder and attempted rape occurred in full view of the 17-year-old, her two-year-old daughter and Masebe's nine-year-old and three-year-old children. His defence was that his 17-year-old daughter had stabbed her mother by mistake. He said the daughter wanted to stab him in order to protect her mother, but she stabbed the victim instead.
