In handing down judgment, the judge said Sebolai's version of events was false beyond reasonable doubt.
Tshabalala’s relatives broke down in the High Court sitting in the Palm Ridge Magistrates Court, where judgment was delivered in her boyfriend’s murder trial.
Judge Cassim Moosa read out the evidence and testimony collected throughout the trial, which is culminating in what’s been an emotional year for Tshabalala's family.
The judge said if Sebolai didn't act in self-defence, he would have rushed to hospital and what made it worse is that he would have gone to the police. Instead he fled the scene.
