The three suspects have been found guilty at the Mpumalanga High Court sitting in Middelburg for killing a 13-year-old girl with albinism at Vosman outside eMalahleni.

The trio includes traditional healer  Thokozani Msibi. They were found guilty of killing Gabisile Shabane and her two-year-old cousin, Nkosikhona Ngwenya in 2018.

The children were abducted from their home. Gabisile’s mutilated body was found in a shallow grave in Pretoria and Nkosinathi’s body was found along the highway. Four suspects were arrested.

Themba Thubane, a teacher, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two life sentences in 2019.
