On Monday, the Gauteng police raided the mansion in a luxury Johannesburg neighborhood where the so-called Facebook rapist and murderer, Thabo Bester, was believed to have been hiding weeks ago.
However, there was no sign of Bester when police officers arrived at the home in Hyde Park.
sistance report the house worth around R12 million is the last known place where Bester found himself.
Bester reportedly stayed at the four-bedroom house with his girlfriend, Nandipha Magudumana, a medical doctor, before they fled again.
According to the report, based on new information, the police obtained a warrant to search the house.
Many police officers arrived at the house on Monday afternoon where some of the couple’s belongings were apparently still found.
EWN report forensic investigators loaded plastic bags, believed to contain evidence, into government vehicles on Monday afternoon.
Rhewal used to report photos of a man who looks a lot like Bester have recently surfaced, putting a new spotlight on the investigation into his alleged death in a fire last year.
Ten months after his alleged death, it came to light that Bester had actually escaped from a maximum security prison in Bloemfontein. So he did not burn to death as the authorities previously claimed.
Rhewal made an inquiry to the police regarding their investigation on Tuesday morning and is still waiting for a response.
