Deadly Deception: Tangled in the twisted timeline of 'Facebook Rapist' Thabo Bester - coming soon to News24.
When
serial rapist and fraudster Thabo Bester stabbed his model girlfriend, Nomfundo
Tyhulu, in the chest at a bed and breakfast in Cape Town in September 2011, he
added murder to a growing list of violent crimes.
Sentencing records reveal she lay face down on the bed, bleeding profusely from the wound - but, instead of calling for help, Bester, in her dying moments, demanded Tyhulu's laptop password.
He was arrested a month later and sentenced to 30 years behind bars after pleading guilty to two counts of rape and two counts of robbery.
