A South African court sentenced Johannes Kana, a 21-year-old man
to two life terms in prison for the brutal murder of 17-year-old Anene Booysen,
who was found disemboweled at a construction site east of Cape Town in
February.
She was attacked after visiting a pub and found by a security
guard and later died in hospital.
Kana pleaded guilty to punching, kicking and raping Booysen, but
denied killing her.
He also denied causing "extensive genital injuries"
which, according to prosecutors, caused "her intestines to protrude from
her genital area and, ultimately, caused her death".
Before her death Booysen had reportedly named a number of her
attackers, but charges were dropped against two other suspects for lack of
evidence.
Booysen's rape and murder sparked an outcry in South Africa
where around 65,000 sexual offences are committed a year, according to official
figures.
But police estimate that only one in 36 rape cases gets
reported.
The 21-year-old perpetrator will serve his terms concurrently.

65000 sexual offence cases in a year??? I pity South African women. They are just too, sorry!, weak i think that's why these men ride them like so.
