Applause as man who strangled his date gets life behind bars

Pretoria - Delighted Eersterust residents broke out in spontaneous clapping after a judge sentenced the killer of well-known community member Molly Fisher to life behind bars. Kgangetsile Abram Tshukudu, who was 26 when he brutally murdered Fisher, 47, in her home, appeared upset when he heard his fate.

Fisher, who was described as a pillar of the Eersterust community, was discovered dead in the passage of her James Dewrance Crescent home on August 1, 2015. She had been strangled.Tshukudu denied guilt and said he knew nothing about her killing. But some of the items were found in his possession and Judge Daniel Mogotsi rejected his version.

Judge Mogotsi said it was a brutal and callous murder of a woman who thought that she may have met the love of her life. The judge expressed his doubts that Tshukudu had any romantic feelings towards her. He found that it was a well-planned strategy to rob a defenceless woman. The judge was told that one of her sons was absolutely distraught at her killing, and he was struggling to come to terms with it. She assisted him when it became known that he was gay, and she helped him through this difficult journey.
