The accused appeared in court in Johannesburg on Friday, November
6, after they pleaded not guilty to robbing and killing the vendor.
Images of the killing went viral after the Sunday Times published the picture showing the attack.
All three of the accused and a minor have been found guilty of
robbing the Mozambican in Alexandra during the height of the xenophobic
attacks in April this year. The17-year-old was also found guilty of assault.
Sentencing procedures have been set down for the beginning of next month.
Witnesses
in the trial told the court that their efforts to intervene in the
murder were unsuccessful, adding that the four men took turns trampling
on him.
The court also used pictures in the judgment detailing how the four accused were involved in the murder.
In June, the Johannesburg Regional court heard how community members
tried to intervene when Sithole was attacked by a group of youngsters.
The state's first witness, Sibusiso Mnyandu, described how the Mozambican was beaten and stabbed by four young men in Alexandra.
Mnyandu said he was too scared to intervene because he was worried his life would be in danger as foreigners were being attacked in the township at the time.
However, he said some community members tried to help the 25-year-old.
Justice prevailed

Justice at last!! I hereby sentenced them to 35yrs in prison! Or maybe by hanging would've been a better option u knw? Not Kidding tho.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how black people killed him.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile white people are Ming those trying to save him from dying
And a cameraman stood by taking these pictures while a human was lynched right in front of him! I am pretty sure God cringes when he looks down on some of our actions.
ReplyDeleteAny killing by Christian is a crazy guy but by Muslim is a terrorist .what a world.
ReplyDeleteLife in prison is what i recommend... Double your hustle
