Black killer of Marinda O’Dell gets life in prison

Krugersdorp occupational therapist Marinda O’Dell - a family-acquaintance of Freedom Front Gauteng leader Jaco Mulder -- was murdered by three black men on July 29 2009 in her Krugersdorp home. Nothing was robbed. One man confessed and turned state witness saying he had ‘helped kill’ Mrs O’Dell with Mphaphantsi Stanley Mabulana ( captured in the ceiling of the O’Dell home ) . Mabulana keeps denying his guilt; nobody knows their motive: nothing was robbed.

The mainstream SA news media describes the daylight-murder --  carried out while there were so many witnesses, including clients waiting for her in her surgery --  as just another armed robbery.

Marinda O’Dell was talking on her cellphone to a friend asking her whether she’d seen her daughter Alicia, 17 – when her throat was slashed… Police arrived within minutes and arrested Mabulana in the ceiling: but he denies his guilt to this day:  ODELL NOORDHEUWEL KRUGERSDORP 20090727 MARINDA O_DELL THROAT CUT DAUGHTER ALICIA 17 stranged BLUDGEONED survives

Convicted murderer Mphaphantsi Stanley Mabulana, found guilty of cutting the throat of occupational therapist Marinda O'Dell, 48 in Noordheuwel, Krugersdorp on July 29 2009, gets a lifetime in prison three years later. He vehemently denied all guilt -- although he was found hiding in the ceiling by the SAPS after cutting Marinda O’Dell’s throat with a hunting knife…

2012-05-10 - KRUGERSDORP MAGISTRATE'S COURT. 29-year-old Mphaphantsi Stanley Mabulana was sentenced to life in prison for the murder and for the attempted murder on the daughter, then 17.

Mulder said the inability of government to exert law enforcement was a direct cause of tragic incidents in Krugersdorp.  "This government is sacrificing us for the sake of a dream which turned into a nightmare because of their own doing," Mulder said.

    Above: the widower of the murdered woman, Henry, who remarried two years later in 2011, said he was very pleased that his late first wife's killers were punished by a lifetime in prison.
"I would not have expected nor accepted any lesser sentence,' he said. His daughter Alicia will have to spend the rest of her life suffering from the psychological trauma of that horrific day, he said after the sentencing of his late-wife’s murderer.

‘ He immediately started strangling me. I felt his cold hands: he had long fingernails… ‘

The survivor, Alicia (left), then a matric pupil, gave courageous O'DELL ALICIA SURVIVED STRANGLING ATTACK BY BLACK KILLERS WHO SLASHED HER MOTHER S THROAT KRUGERSDORP HOME JUNE292008testimony at the trial, telling the court that she had pleaded with one knifeman to 'please not hurt her'.  Alicia testified on closed-circuit camera because she suffered from post-traumatic shock syndrome and also had to be protected as one of the state-witnesses.  Alicia told the court that she was attacked inside her Krugersdorp home after her return from school on July 29 2009. She was strangled and beaten with a heavy spanner and passed out. “I pleaded with him not to hurt me as I saw him walking towards me with a knife in his hand. I then struggled to keep him out by pushing against the door while he was pushing it from the other side. He got inside and immediately started strangling me, holding my neck with his hands. I felt his cold hands. He had longish fingernails. I started feeling faint. I saw the knife on the floor and tried to pick it up but he kicked it away. I lost conscienceness,’ she testified.

She also testified that she was taken to Kagiso police station to confront a police line up -- personally.  “I recognised the three because they looked so similar to one another, each with beards and very dark-skinned,’ she told Beeld newspaper. She made a later court appearance during which she had  positively identified Mabulana as one of the attackers. Despite her pleading, she testified that she was strangled  and was unconscious when the men cut her mother's throat..

Magistrate Vivian Hawkins said on May 9 2012 in the Krugersdorp magistrate court that Mabulana was found guilty of murdering the occupational therapist in July 2009 by cutting her throat with a hunting knife. She sentenced him to a lifetime in prison. 

Two male attackers were put on trial for killing Mrs O'Dell on July 29 2008: with the second arrested man, Phetoke Cedrick Lebea pleading guilty shortly after his arrest: admitting to breaking into the O'Dell home.  Lebea was already found guilty of the crimes and is in prison.

Mabulana's legal counsel Adv L Mogotsi said while his client 'does not show remorse because he keeps on denying his guilt, he will appeal against the sentence.'
