Man Accused of Killing Ex-Girlfriend on Camera Claims Police Brutality During Arrest
On August 25, 2025, 37-year-old Lazarus Antonio appeared before the Vhembe Magistrate’s Court after being charged with the murder of his ex-girlfriend, Kgaogelo Marota, in Thohoyandou, Limpopo. Antonio, accused of fatally stabbing Marota outside a tavern and recording the act on video, shocked the courtroom by alleging police brutality during his arrest. His outburst, reported by eNCA, revealed claims of beatings by officers, sparking heated debate within a community already devastated by the viral footage of Marota’s final moments. The court has postponed his case to September 5 for a formal bail application.
Antonio was apprehended after a swift manhunt, with SAPS tracking him to a hideout following his alleged online confession and the circulation of the chilling video. In court, Antonio displayed bruises, claiming they resulted from excessive force used during his capture. Police spokesperson Warrant Officer Vuledzani Dathi rejected the claims as a “deflection tactic,” insisting the arrest was lawful. Meanwhile, social media has erupted with divided opinions: some demanding #JusticeForKgaogelo while others call for accountability over alleged police misconduct.
