A forty-year-old man has been
arrested for the rape and murder of his grandmother.

Morena Petrus
Mofokeng broke into the house of a 50-year-old woman and raped and
killed her. Evidence taken from the scene linked him to the rape of his
own 85-year-old grandmother a couple of months prior.
Morena of
Paballong Village in QwaQwa, South Africa, raped and killed the
50-year-old woman in October 2012. Two years before that, in October
2010, his grandmother had been raped and died a week after but the case
was provisionally withdrawn due to a lack of evidence. However, the
charges were reinstated when DNA evidence taken from his recent victim
proved that he was also his grandmother’s assailant.

According
to reports by African News Agency (ANA), Morena was convicted by the
High Court presiding at Thabo Mofutsanyana District Justice Centre in
Phuthaditjhaba on Tuesday.

He will be sentenced today, according to a statement by the Free State police.

”He will be sentenced on two counts of rape, and one count of murder on Thursday”.
