Pitch Black Afro Has Been Found Guilty Of Culpable Homicide

It’s just been reported by Sowetan Live that former rapper Pitch Black Afro, real name Thulani Ngcobo, has been found guilty of culpable homicide for the gruesome death of his wife Catherine Modisane. Its also been reported that he has not been found guilty for defeating the ends of justice and pre-meditated murder.

Now if you remember, Thulani Ngcobo was standing trial at the South Gauteng High Court for killing his wife Catherine Modisane at a Bed and Breakfast establishment in Yeoville, Johannesburg about two years ago. And today Judge J du Plessis was heard saying that “He presented himself as a poor witness under questions from the state.”

The judge furthermore said the state did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he planned to kill Modisane and that it was clear from the conducted postmortem report that she was killed from a blunt force trauma to the head.

It’s also been reported that Thulani did not apparently take the judgment well and that after the judge left the room he claimed that the police forced him to admit to the crime he has just been charged of.
