Johannesburg – Tshegofatso Pule’s family said that they had been left emotionally rattled after disturbing WhatsApp messages revealed that the young woman pregnant for the second time with Ntuthuko Shoba’s baby.
The state presented cellphone records to the Roodepoort Magistrates Court on Thursday.
Shoba, who is accused of being the mastermind behind Pule’s murder, was applying for bail once again.
Pule’s body, who was pregnant at the time, was found hanging from a tree last year.
The matter was postponed to next week for arguments.
Pule’s family was left shocked after the State revealed in the Roodepoort Magistrates Court that this was not the first time that she was pregnant with Shoba’s baby.
The court heard how Pule’s previous pregnancy was terminated.
WhatsApp messages showed the pair’s relationship and revealed how the young woman did not trust Shoba and feared that he would do anything not to become a father again.
Pule’s uncle, Tumisang Katake, said that they’d been left disturbed by the latest revelations.
“We have been robbed of three lives, as a family, by the same man. I will be honest, no one would be normal after hearing such things.”
Shoba is expected back in court on Monday.
