said Patel told the court that he did not give his jacket to the police because they did not ask for it.Fatima’s body was found in a pool of blood at their Nirvana home in Limpopo in 2015, after they allegedly had a fight.
Police investigations revealed that Fatima was executed with a single shot to the head while autopsy reports indicate that, at some point before her death she was strangled and suffered blunt force trauma that dislocated her jaw, possibly caused by a baseball bat that was recovered from the ceiling of the apartment.While Patel was also accused of killing his mother, Muhajeen, police said that he’d not been linked to a spate of other crimes involving his family.
Patel’s father Firoz, was killed in an unsolved robbery while Yunus Mayet, the father of his current wife was kidnapped and murdered.
