Gauteng man guilty of killing his son

A 29-year-old man, Ronald Ngobeni, has been found guilty by the South Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg for the murder of his 5-year-old son, Khayone Rivoningo Capu, two years ago.

According to the NPA, Ngobeni asked the child's grandparents to take him to the mall, but instead Ngobeni killed the boy and buried him in a shallow grave. The grandparents reported the child missing, and police later found the decomposed body with a fatal head injury.

In court, Ngobeni claimed he killed the child because he was angry at the boy's mother and grandmother, who had told him the child was not his and encouraged him to kill the boy if that would make him happy. The case has been postponed for further sentencing arguments.
