One of the police officers, who first responded to a house fire reported in Soshanguve on January 2022, testified that a woman believed to have lost her husband in the fire was inconsolable.

Sibusiso Mahlangu and his wife, Lerato, are currently on trial for the 2022 murder of Lerato's ex-boyfriend, Sibusiso Sithebe.

The State alleges the couple killed Sithebe in a plot to lodge fraudulent insurance claims. They face a count of murder and three counts of fraud.
