Johannesburg – A Limpopo man accused of murder and rape of Capricon TVET college student has pleaded guilty to all the charges when he appeared in the Limpopo High Court on Wednesday.
NPA spokesperson Mashudu Malabi Dzangi said in a statement that Aubrey Manaka has pleaded guilty to a charge of murder, and rape after breaking into Precious Ramabulana’s room and fatally stabbed her several times in her room in Botlokwa in 2019.
Malabi Dzangi said Manaka’s case has been postponed to tomorrow where he is likely to be sentenced.
She also said Manaka’s rape case, in which he was accused of plundering a minor in 2014 has been dropped.
This after a medical report submitted by a doctor who examined the minor, revealed that she was not penetrated.
The court also heard that Manaka intentionally killed Ramabulana in 2019 when he blitzed into her room with the intention to rape her. Ramabulana was found dead inside her off-campus room with multiple stab wounds.
