Sithobele qebe
Siphokazi Booi's murder case postponed to April
Sithobele Qebe was arrested in September and appeared in the Magistrates Court on Wednesday. He faces a charge of murder.
Sithobele Qebe was arrested earlier this month after a burnt body of a woman was found near a railway line. DNA tests later confirmed it was that of his girlfriend Siphokazi Booi.
Siphokazi Booi's burnt body was found at a dump site near the Mbekweni train station.
Judgment has been reserved in Sithobele Qebe’s bail application.
DNA results released on Tuesday confirmed what the 27-year-old woman's family suspected all along, that the body found earlier this month was indeed her.
Her boyfriend, Sithobele Qebe, has been charged with her murder and it's emerged that he was accused of assaulting her in August.
Sithobele Qebe was arrested after a badly body burned body was discovered near Mbekweni train station two weekends ago.
Her family last saw her three days before the burnt beyond recognition body of a woman was discovered by White City residents.
While DNA results had not confirmed the identity, it was strongly believed to be Siphokazi Booi.
Siphokazi Booi’s family members said that they were certain that it was her.
