Soul City Murder Accused Sentenced

KIMBERLEY – The Frances Baard District Commissioner, Major General Charlotte Makgari welcomes the life imprisonment sentence handed down to 31-year-old Shaderick Seane by the Kimberley High Court on Friday, 28 August 2026, following his conviction for murder.

The conviction and sentencing stem from the discovery of the body of a 28-year-old woman at a house in Soul City, Galeshewe, on Tuesday, 02 September 2025.

According to the post-mortem examination, the deceased had sustained injuries consistent with having been assaulted and strangled. The cause of death was determined to be strangulation.

The investigation further established that the deceased’s body had remained inside the house for approximately two days, from Sunday, 31 August 2025, until it was discovered on Tuesday, 02 September 2025.

The case docket was assigned to Detective Warrant Officer Brendon Boraine of the Kagisho Detective Unit for investigation.

Through a thorough and diligent investigation, the accused was subsequently arrested and denied bail. He remained in custody until his conviction and sentencing by the Kimberley High Court on Friday, 28 August 2026.

Major General Makgari commended Detective Warrant Officer Boraine for his meticulous investigation, which contributed to securing the conviction and life sentence.

The successful outcome is a fitting conclusion to Women’s Month, reaffirming the SAPS’s commitment to protecting women and ensuring that perpetrators of violence against women are brought to justice.

The life sentence imposed by the court demonstrates that perpetrators of serious crimes against women will be held accountable for their actions.

SAPS management remains committed to strengthening investigations and working with communities and stakeholders to prevent and combat violence against women and girls, while ensuring that victims and their families receive the justice they deserve.
