South African prosecutors have dropped a murder charge against Zolile Sekeleni, the father of the girlfriend of high-profile convicted murderer Thabo Bester, who is accused of escaping from a prison after faking his own death in a fire, officials say
Sekeleni’s daughter, Nandipha Magudumana, a prominent medical doctor and personality in South Africa was arrested on April 7 while on the run in Tanzania with Bester. Dubbed “The Facebook rapist” in South Africa, Bester was serving a life sentence for the murder and rape of a model in 2012. Bester, 35, allegedly faked his death by placing the charred remains of another man in his prison cell, officials said.
A murder investigation by authorities had earlier concluded that the burned body found in Bester’s cell had died before the fire began. An autopsy report also found that the deceased had died as a result of blunt force trauma to the head. Shuping said the murder charge was dropped in light of new evidence, but added Sekeleni, a former educator, would face other charges.
