Thabo Bester appears in SA court today

Thabo Bester, a South African rapist and murderer who faked his own death in prison last week before being recaptured in Tanzania, is scheduled to appear in court on Friday.

New allegations against Thabo Bester include breaking and entering and violating a dead body, according to the police.

The police spokeswoman confirmed that he will appear before the Bloemfontein magistrate court, although it is unknown whether he will do so in person.

Bester was convicted in 2012 for the rape and murder of his model girlfriend Nomfundo Tyhulu, and he was sentenced to life in prison at the time of his escape.

He was transported to a high-security prison in the capital, Pretoria, on a specially chartered plane on Thursday after being deported from Tanzania.
