Insurance fraud murder accused suspected of killing child

According to TimesLIVE, Setshwantsho, who is in custody after she was accused of killing her relative, is now facing another murder charge. It's believed that her child died suspiciously at the Kuruman Hospital. Shortly after her death, he made an insurance claim, and it was discovered that she had taken out insurance for a large amount of money, which she would get if her child died.

One of her relatives's death was ruled a natural death. The relative lived in Mmabatho and also died under suspicious circumstances. She was arrested after the South African Police Service investigated and found that family members she insured died mysteriously.

South Africans shook their head at her

South Africans on Facebook strongly disapproved of her actions. Here's what they had to say:

"She deserves a death sentence."
