Petros Mthembeni Ngema confessed to murdering his girlfriend Asithandile Mtyeku. But two weeks later he was released on R3000 bail
Family of a young woman murdered by her boyfriend distraught after he was released on bail two weeks after killing.
She worked as a laboratory analyst at the SA Sugar Association where she had recently been promoted to a shift supervisor at its Sezela mill. “She supported the whole family and we have been left stranded. I learnt of her passing through a friend who studied with her at the Durban University of Technology.”
“The family is aware that the accused was arrested and later granted bail. The accused is scheduled to appear in the regional court in March next year. It was the court not us who granted him bail,” said Francis. We are still in shock and processing the whole incident. When I ask what made him kill this woman he says he doesn’t know. He seems to have lost his mind. He doesn’t know anything.The mother was at pains to explain the family’s ordeal. “I am 82 and a single mother of four. Mthembeni is the only boy and none of them is working.
“That’s all they had to say. They said they were sorry for their son murdering my daughter. Petros only spent two weeks in jail and was released on a bail of R3 000,” Mtyeku said.
