A 56 year old granny from Tsholotsho who struck and killed a rapist in what she claimed was self defence has been spared jail time.
It is alleged that some time in 2013, Thokozile Moyo hit Edward Vundla Nduna,76, several times with a log after he sneaked into her hut naked at midnight and attempted to rape her.
Nduna died on the way to Tsholotsho District hospital. A postmortem report gave the cause of death as multiple injuries and assault.
The court in its ruling noted that the issue was condemned as murder, but however it was done at self defence.
Moyo was spared from serving a 12 month jail term, which was wholly suspended.
