The final days of Agnes Thabanes life were spent being strangled and beaten, sustaining serious injuries that led to her experiencing seizures three days later and culminating in her death.
The culprit was her boyfriend, Katlego Solomon Ledwaba.
National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Magaboke Mohlatlole said a sentence of life imprisonment for murder has been handed down against the 33-year-old by the Johannesburg high court.
