Clairwood father still haunted by his son's murder two year ago

The father of Njabulo Mankayi, one of two Clairwood boys killed, allegedly by a woman scorned, says unanswered questions about his 10-year-old son's murder still haunt him two years on.

Mankayi says he feels angry when seeing the accused.

"I have followed the case from the beginning, and will be here until the end," he said.

Maliwa said she was rethinking her position and possibly looking at entering into a plea bargain.  

Little Njabulo and his best friend Luyanda Msomi were poisoned and strangled in what appeared to have been a revenge attack after Njabulo's father ended an extra-marital relationship with Maliwa.
