WHEN Valito Sithole decided to walk home after a happy night with his friends, no one had any clue he would soon be dead.
A man was furious to be woken up by Valito and his friend as they walked past his house.
So the 35-year-old stabbed him to death before dumping him in a yard!
Valito’s friend Samuel Sindane (23) said they had been drinking at a tavern in Freedom Park, south of Joburg, on Friday night.
“Earlier, we were involved in a fight with a man who was beating his girlfriend. We asked him to take the woman home to sleep and went to drink somewhere else,” he said.
Another friend said a woman complained that Valito and his friend had woken her up as they walked past her house.
“A tenant came out of her yard and fought with Valito. I walked away and only heard the next day that Valito’s body had been found in another yard with multiple stab wounds,” he said.
Valito’s sister, Julia Mathusi (40), said one of his friends came to her door on Saturday morning to say Valito had been killed.
“I couldn’t believe it. He was lying in a pool of blood. I had spoken to him earlier. He promised to visit me later,” she said.
Police spokesman Captain Philemon Khorombi confirmed that a case of murder was opened.
