Man sentenced to life imprisonment for killing brutally killing his daughter.
A 39-year-old Limpopo man who brutally killed his four-year-old daughter has been sentenced to life imprisonment.
Tshilidzi Vincent Mudau was sentenced by the Waterval Regional Court to life imprisonment for murder and 10 years for arson. The sentences will run concurrently, resulting in an effective sentence of life imprisonment.
National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) regional spokesperson Mashudu Malabi said the incident occurred on December 4, 2023, at Ha-Maila Kanana in Tshitale.
Malabi said the child’s mother had applied for a protection order against Mudau and after learning about the application, Mudau telephoned her and threatened to burn down her house and kill their four-year-old daughter if she did not allow him access to the child.
