Jabulile Ntimba murder accused denies killing ‘cousin’, claims police torture to obtain confession
Two suspects face charges of premeditated murder and defeating or obstructing the ends of justice.
Two women, Fortunate Masilela and Tsakane Msithini, are accused of premeditated murder in connection with the death of Jabulile Ntimba. The bodies of the three women found murdered in the East Rand since July have been linked to a "love triangle." According to Masilela, she was subjected to severe torture by police officers, who allegedly forced her to admit to the crime.
She maintains her innocence and denies any involvement in Ntimba's death. Masilela also clarified her relationship with the victim, stating that she had lived with Ntimba and that she was Ntimba's babysitter. The third suspect in the case was released due to insufficient evidence.
