Thabo Ntokozo Nzimande, who stabbed his 80-year-old grandmother, decapitated her, and kicked her severed head like a soccer ball on June 7, 2024, was convicted of murder by the Durban High Court on Thursday.
The Durban High Court has convicted Thabo Ntokozo Nzimande of murdering his 80-year-old grandmother, Beatrice DeLange, in a case that shocked the Pinetown community because of the extreme violence involved.
Handing down judgment on Thursday, Acting Judge Mpumelelo Sibisi found that the State had proved beyond reasonable doubt that Nzimande was responsible for DeLange’s death on June 7, 2024.
Thabo Ntokozo Nzimande, who killed his grandmother and decapitated her in June 2024, has been convicted by the Durban High Court.
The court rejected Nzimande’s version that he had no knowledge of what happened to his grandmother, ruling that there was no evidence suggesting that anyone else could have committed the murder in the granny flat the pair shared.
