Sandile Mantsoe guilty of Karabo Mokoena's murder
Sandile Mantsoe has been found guilty of Karabo Mokoena's murder in the South Gauteng High Court.
Mantsoe was also found guilty of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm, and defeating the ends of justice.
A search for the 22-year-old ensued - after she went missing in April last year - with friends circulating pleas on social media.
Testifying during his bail application, Mantsoe had denied killing her - claiming he found her dead in his apartment. He told the court that he then disposed of her body.

Her burnt body was found in a veld in Lyndhurst, north-east of Johannesburg last year.
