Tshegofatso Pule: 'It was horrible,' says former morgue worker who saw body“It was a horrible scene, what we found there I’ve never seen in my life. Even in movies I’ve never seen a pregnant lady murdered or hanging from a tree.” This is sad, very sad! 😥💔 That beast who did that really has serious issues with himself. Even if there was an arguement between him & that lady, he had no right to kill her. People belong to God - not men/males. Man/males has no right to kill women just because they don't see eye to eye with a woman.
