A 64-year-old man breaks into his ex-girlfriend’s home, then stabs her in the neck before later raping her, according to court reporting. He is sentenced to two life terms in the Eastern Cape.
The sources describe the incident as a serious breach of security followed by multiple violent offences against the same victim. Reporting focuses on the sequence of events—an unlawful entry, an assault with a neck stabbing, and a later sexual assault—along with the sentence imposed. While the outlets presented here do not provide detailed context such as trial dates, the basis of the court’s findings, or the defence’s position, they are consistent in describing the core facts and the outcome: conviction and two concurrent life sentences.
