Mbali Lekhuleni kills her attacker

With wits and luck, she persuaded him into his gun away before he violated her for the second time. When he had finished, he looked away, allowing her to reach for the firearm:

“I held the gun, and when he looked back he found me holding the gun. When he tried to approach me, I just pulled the trigger. That gun was prepared. The only thing I did was pull the trigger. It fired and shot him.

"Then he came to me trying to fight while I was still holding the gun. I fired again. Then he fell, he fell on top of me. I could literally feel his last breath on me. He died on top of me.”

She was acquitted on the grounds of self-defence.
