For additional investigation, the Ga-Rankuwa magistrate’s court has continued the murder case against Gopolang Alfred More, who is accused of murdering his fiancée, until 25 March 2023.
After reportedly killing his 26-year-old girlfriend Mariam Makane in front of her 3-year-old son, the 27-year-old was charged with murder.
Henry Mamothame, a spokesperson for the National Prosecution Authority, stated that the accused had taken up his girlfriend and son from her Mamelodi residence on December 18, 2022.
It is suspected that the deceased had an order of protection against the suspect. More allegedly drove them to a cemetery in Ga-Rankuwa, where he allegedly stabbed her multiple times with a bottle in front of their child and then abandoned her there.
More then allegedly drove to his residence while wearing bloodstained clothing and left the child with his brother.
He allegedly confessed to killing the mother of the child before abandoning the youngster. The incident was reported to the police, and he was arrested on December 20, 2022.
Additional suspects will stay in police custody until their next court date.
