Johannesburg - The so-called “Facebook rapist” Thabo Bester is to be sentenced in the Western Cape High Court on Tuesday.
Bester was found guilty on Monday of robbing and murdering 26-year-old model Nomfundo Tyhulu.
The court heard that he met Tyhulu at a Sandton dealership in January 2011, where she sold him a BMW.
Bester was previously sentenced to 50 years in prison for raping and robbing two models. He was jailed for 15 years on each count of rape and 15 years on each count of robbery. Five years of each robbery sentence was suspended.
Bester has been dubbed the “Facebook rapist” as he used the social networking site to lure women to meet him, claiming that international modelling scouts were interested in them. Armed with a knife, he then raped and robbed them. - Sapa
