“According to evidence heard before the court, he stabbed his girlfriend, Busisiwe Jaki (34), to death with a knife in the early hours of the morning on Thursday, 30 June 2022, after an argument between them. The incident occurred at the victim’s rented room in Unit 4, Mogwase.”
He fled the scene shortly after killing her but was later on arrested on the same day.
He had also been in police custody since his arrest.
The State argued that Molorwe should not be shown any mercy taking into consideration that the incident occurred in the present of the 4 years old child of the deceased.
Provincial Commissioner of North West, Lieutenant General Sello Kwena and the Director for Public Prosecution, Dr Rachel Makhari has welcomed the life term.
