ToggleWoman Helps Husband Kill Her Boyfriend to Fake Husband’s Death and Claim Insurance Money
South Africa – A couple, Sibusiso Mahlangu and his wife, Lerato, carried out a shocking crime to fake Sibusiso’s death, kill another man, and collect life insurance money.
Lerato was having an affair with a man named Sithebe. She tricked him into coming to her house, where her husband, Mahlangu, was waiting to kill him. They used Sithebe’s body to fake Mahlangu’s death so they could claim a big insurance payout.
To make it look real, Lerato told officials the dead body was her husband. This allowed her to get a fake death certificate.
The Insurance Scam
With the fake documents, Lerato claimed life insurance benefits. She received R575,000 (about GHS 473,837). Mahlangu kept R150,000, bought a car for R200,000, and they used the rest to start a new life. The couple moved to Mpumalanga, traveling only at night to avoid getting caught.
Even while in hiding, Mahlangu called his daughters but told them to call him “Angel” instead of “Daddy.”
How They Got Caught
The truth came out when Mahlangu finally confessed to killing Sithebe. The next day, Lerato explained in court how they spent the money.
Now, both Mahlangu and Lerato are facing trial for their crimes, and the court will decide their punishment.
