The trial of the so-called “birthday rapist” Mlungisi Mtshali is continuing in the Johannesburg Regional Court.
|||The trial of the so-called “birthday rapist” Mlungisi Mtshali was continuing on Tuesday afternoon in the Johannesburg Regional Court, the National Prosecuting Authority said.
“The trial is ongoing in court,” NPA spokesman Mthunzi Mhaga said.
Mtshali, 28, was dubbed “the birthday rapist” because he reportedly told his victims it was his birthday and invited them to celebrate with him at a nearby restaurant or bar.
He would later ask them to accompany him, in a metered taxi, to fetch his sister or a friend in Hillbrow or central Johannesburg, where he lured the women into a hotel room and allegedly raped them.
He faces 120 charges, including rape, fraud, robbery, and kidnapping. - Sapa
