A 26 year-old man from Platfontein near Kimberley was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment by Kimberley Regional Court on Friday. Pieter Mokae murdered his customary wife, Roderika Gita, 24.
“The incident happened in March 2 in 2014. The atrocity took place after an argument between the two. The accused hit the victim with a broomstick which caused her to land up in hospital where she later died.
“The suspect fled the scene and was later arrested by the police. The police commended Detective Warrant Officer Raymond Visagie from the Kimberley Serious and Violent Crimes unit for a job well done,” Lieutenant Sergio Kock said.
