https://www.vibe.com/2019/09/uyinene-mrwetyana-funeralThe 19-year-old film and media student was last seen Aug. 30 while heading to a local post office to pick up a package. Days later her remains were found and a 42-year-old post office employee was arrested for her rape and murder.
According to South African outlet News 24, Mrwetyana went to the post office about a parcel and was told to return later because the electricity was out at the time. When she did, the employee who had prior convictions, bludgeoned her with a scale, raped and then killed her. While confessing to the crime he also revealed he burned the teen's body and buried her in a shallow grave.
His trial is set for November.
Mrwetyana's mother gave a heartfelt speech at her daughter's funeral and blamed herself. "I'm sorry. I warned you about so many places but not about the post office," she said
