When medical student Tshepang Pitse suddenly stops answering her dad’s calls and messages he presumes his daughter is deep in her studies, but when a horrific discovery is made in her boyfriend’s freezer, a terrible tale of abuse and manipulation spills out.
Flavio Hlabangwane, a cousin of Tshepang admitted that he researched and planned for two months how to kill Tshepang.
He said he killed her at his rented property in Soweto after they argued about him using her bank card without permission. After murdering her, he buried her head in a shallow grave in Randfontein and threw her torso in a river. Hlabangwane kept her arms and legs in his freezer.
He was arrested in November 2021 after Pitse’s body parts were found in his fridge. The discovery was made by his new girlfriend, who raised the alarm with neighbours and police.
