"Body Found in Thabo Bester's Cell Finally Identified as Katlego Bereng: Heartbreaking News for Family"





Police have confirmed that the body found in the cell of convicted murderer and rapist Thabo Bester at Mangaung Correctional Centre has been identified as Katlego Bereng, according to recent developments. Bester was believed to have died in his cell in May of the previous year, but it was revealed by GroundUp last month that the body found in the cell was not his.
An autopsy report indicated that the deceased had died from blunt force trauma to the head and was already deceased before the prison caught fire. National police spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe confirmed the identification of the body and that the family had been notified.

This news has shattered the hearts of Katlego's family, who have been searching for him since April of the previous year when he stopped answering calls and texts and ceased posting on social media. Katlego lived with his grandmother in Bloemfontein, where his mother also resided.

Bester, also known as the "Facebook rapist," had used social media to lure women with false promises of international modelling opportunities before raping and robbing them at knifepoint, even resulting in the murder of one victim. 


He was serving a life sentence at the time of his escape and was later arrested in Tanzania with his partner, celebrity aesthetics doctor Nandipha Magudumana. Several others were also charged with aiding in his escape.

Katlego would have turned 32 years old next month, and his family is devastated by the news of his tragic death. They are planning to fly to Bloemfontein to view the body and meet with the police for further information. The situation has been emotionally challenging for Katlego's family, and they express deep sorrow for their loss.
