Kimberley - The Northern Cape High Court has sentenced Michael Monnapule Marema to 15 years imprisonment for the murder of George Monnapule Motheo. The murder was a revenge attack after Motheo killed Maremaâs girlfriend in a car accident in 2016.
Five years of the 15-year sentence was suspended by Acting Judge Amanda Venter.
On the night of July 27, 2016, Motheo accidentally knocked down Puleng Vinolia Mbuku with his vehicle in Nobengula Street, Galeshewe.
Marema later assaulted Motheo, who was rushed to the Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe Hospital where he died the next day as a result of injuries sustained during the attack.
