After realising that she was dead, he went outside to smoke tik before searching on Google how to dismember a body. Pasile then cut her body up and placed it in a suitcase which he left by the side of the road, reports eNCA.
Pasile apologises for killing Mtebeni
In his letter, Pasile blamed the devil for making him killing Mtebeni, saying that evil spirits had taken over him.
He told the Mtebeni family that he regrets killing their daughter and he struggles to sleep at night because he constantly sees his gruesome action every time he closes his eyes, reports SABC News. Pasile pleaded with the family to forgive him for his actions.
However, the victim's father, Kholisile Mtebeni, says he cannot forgive Pasile because he could not forgive his daughter.
South Africans shocked by the gruesome murder of Mthebeni
Taking social media platforms such as Facebook and YouTube, South Africans shared their thoughts about the horrible way Mthebeni was killed.
