Pretoria - A Zimbabwean national claims he stabbed Moroccan diplomat Fatmi Noureddine 42 times with a knife at a Pretoria guesthouse as he believed the man sexually molested him while he was sleeping.
Nigel Kahari, 21, testified that where he grew up in Zimbabwe he was taught to hate gay people. Being gay is punishable by law, unacceptable and against prevailing Biblical views.
Kahari was earlier convicted of murdering Noureddine while visiting him at the Waterkloof guesthouse.
The high court in Pretoria will sentence Kahari on Friday.
He admitted that he stabbed Noureddine on October 6, 2014, and conceded it was “overkill”.
Kahari told the court on Wednesday that he acknowledged that he was wrong. “I repent my actions,” he said.
