Imbayarwo who committed the offence in 2014, was convicted
of committing the two crimes when he appeared at the Limpopo Division High
Court this week.
Limpopo police spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Malesela
Ledwaba confirmed the development.
“The accused, 32-year-old Zimbabwean national, Andrea
Imbayarwo was sentenced to two life imprisonment for raping and killing
Christine Robinson, who was the owner of Raditau Lodge in Thabazimbi in the
Waterberg District. This horrendous crime was committed during 2014,” he said.
Imbayarwo, who committed the offense in 2014, was convicted
when he appeared at the Limpopo Division High Court this week.
“The deceased was found in her bedroom on the morning of 30
July 2014 at about 07:30. The police were called and on arrival at the scene,
the victim was found with the knife still stuck in her neck. She was certified
dead by paramedics.”
Lt Col Ledwaba said investigations were carried out and it
was then discovered that Imbayarwo had on the same day hired a vehicle to take
him to Beitbridge Border Post with the aim to go to Zimbabwe when he committed
the crimes.
On 30 July 2020, he said the police got a tip-off about the
accused’s whereabouts and they swiftly arrested him.
He said further investigations revealed that the woman was
also raped and robbed of some valuables. Chronicle
