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.

Witnesses say four female suicide bombers have killed 13 civilians and wounded 30 in explosions at a market in Chibok — hometown of Nigeria's kidnapped schoolgirls.
A man at the scene says the blasts began on Wednesday when soldiers tried to search a young woman covered in a hijab in the northeast Nigerian town. Then three women inside the market exploded in quick succession. The man insisted on anonymity for fear of reprisals.
A Chibok community leader in Abuja, Nigeria's capital, said another blast occurred at a military checkpoint in Chibok. Tsambo Hosea Abana says relatives called to tell him his uncle and 15-year-old niece are among the wounded.
He blamed Boko Haram Islamic jihadists who kidnapped nearly 300 Chibok schoolgirls in April 2014 of whom 219 remain missing.
