They roped Tlowaye's grandson, Piet Monyai, in to kill her husband. Monyai, Tlowaye and Ndebele bought a firearm for R750 in June 2019. Four days later, Kekana and Monyai went to her house, where they shot and killed her husband. Ndebele told them to take some of her husband's belongings to make it look like they were robbed.

Ndebele was arrested four days later at her house and her accomplices were arrested two days after she was arrested. During the proceedings, the prosecutor, Advocate Ronnie Sibanda, revealed that Monyai was previously convicted and served time for rape and robbery.
