A South African man murders his ex-girlfriend and shares a photo of her lifeless body on Facebook. The man, identified as Sbusiso Lawrence, also posted a video explaining what led him to murder, sparking widespread outrage and disbelief across social media platforms.
The Reason Behind the Tragedy
In the video he shared online, Sbusiso provided details about his actions and the events leading up to the murder. He alleged that his ex-girlfriend had received a financial settlement from the Road Accident Fund (RAF) and subsequently ended their relationship. This, he claimed, was the tipping point for his heinous actions.
According to his account, Sbusiso felt betrayed after investing significant time, effort, and money into their relationship. He claimed he worked tirelessly to provide for her financially and make her happy, but she was abandoned once she came into the RAF funds.
