A South African man has been found guilty of killing his 22-year-old ex-girlfriend in a case that shocked the country last year.
The High Court in Johannesburg concluded that Sandile Mantsoe stabbed Karabo Mokoena, and tried to conceal the crime by burning her remains.
Her killing sparked outrage with women using the hashtag #MenAreTrash.
South Africa has one of the world’s highest rates of rape and murder of women.
More than 40,000 cases of rape are reported every year, figures which are thought to only
represent a fraction of actual attacks.
Presiding judge Peet Johnson labelled Mantsoe an unreliable witness who fabricated evidence and was involved in a web of lies in a bid to sway the murder trial his way.
