Initially, the death of Thabo Bester at Mangaung prison was reported by police as a possible suicide.
“Facebook Rapist” Thabo Bester’s death at Mangaung Correctional Centre in May last year was murder, not suicide, a leaked report confirms.
The findings of the autopsy were included in a leaked prison visit report by Judges Nokuthula Daniso and Ilse Van Rhyn of the Free State High Court, delivered in December last year. The judges visited the prison to investigate the circumstances of Bester’s death after receiving a complaint. Bester was dubbed the “Facebook Rapist” because he used the social media platform to lure women with claims that international modelling scouts were interested in them. He would then rape them and rob them using a knife. He murdered at least one of his victims.Bester was placed in the maximum security Mangaung prison, the second-largest private prison in the world. The prison is run by G4S, a multinational security company.
Following the fire in Bester’s cell, a source alleged that his death had been “covered-up” by prison officials and the police.
