During the trial, Mpisi was found guilty of the murder of Rabalao, as well as malicious injury to property and defeating the administration of justice.
He has remained in custody since his arrest on July 28, 2023, after abandoning his application for bail.
Rabalao’s remains were discovered inside her Mercedes-Benz on March 9, 2023, near her home in Midrand.
According to National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson Magaboke Mohlatlole, Senior State Advocate Michelle Bayat told the court that although medical experts could not determine the exact cause of death because the body had been extensively burned, the evidence proved beyond reasonable doubt that Rabalao had died before the fire was started.
Prosecutors successfully argued that Mpisi murdered Rabalao before setting her body and vehicle ablaze in an attempt to destroy evidence and cover up the crime.
Evidence presented during the trial revealed that the couple had been in a romantic relationship.
According to prosecutors, Rabalao had informed relatives and close friends that she intended to end the relationship and move out of the apartment she shared with Mpisi before she was killed.
Rabalao, an IT specialist, was just days away from celebrating her 27th birthday when her life was cut short.
Mpisi, who was 30 years old at the time of his arrest, was apprehended in KwaZulu-Natal after a four-month investigation.
Before his arrest in 2023, Mpisi posted an emotional tribute on Facebook following Rabalao’s death.
He wrote:
“Rest in peace, my love. The pain I’m in is so deep. I don’t know where to begin to start picking up the pieces. How do I raise Beanie ungekho?… I thank God for giving me the time we’ve shared together; nothing can ever take that away.”
He also added:
“To all those who have given comfort, it is appreciated, and also to all who have given their continuous support in all ways in this dark moment. Your prayers, visits, company, financial and psychological support is highly appreciated.”

F*ck You, Bitch – Bodycam Footage Shows 6-Year-Old Boy Who Shot His Teacher Threatening Police and Admitting He Stole the Gun From His Mother
Follow Our WhatsApp Channel here
The boy, identified as J.T., was seen in the footage after police responded to Richneck Elementary School in Newport News, Virginia, following the shooting of his first-grade teacher, Abby Zwerner, on January 6, 2023.
The footage showed the boy behaving aggressively as officers tried to control the situation.

At one point, he was heard telling police officers:
“Both y’all want a f**king piece of me, b**h?!”
Reading specialist Amy Kovac rushed into the classroom after hearing the gunshot and held the boy in a bear hug while attempting to stop him.
She could be heard telling him to “stop,” but J.T. responded:
“F**k you, **h.”
Police officers later located a 9mm Taurus handgun on the classroom floor approximately 15 to 20 feet away from the boy.
“We have the shooter,” another officer said over the police radio.
Kovac told officers that she had previously informed the assistant principal about a threat involving the boy.
“I told the [assistant principal] that there was a threat earlier about it,” Kovac said.
During the confrontation, J.T. also made a statement that appeared to refer to another person.
“That n—a retired last year,” J.T. said, although it was unclear who he was referring to.
An officer then asked Kovac how old the boy was.
“He is 6 years old,” she replied.
Kovac also told officers that J.T. had previously been placed on a modified school schedule and that his mother was supposed to pick him up at 2:30 p.m.
“He has been on a modified schedule. His mother is to pick him up at 2:30. This is his first week without his mother coming to school with him,” Kovac said.
She explained that she called 911 after hearing a gunshot from down the hallway and rushing into the classroom, where she saw blood on the teacher.
J.T. continued to use abusive language during the confrontation and at one point flashed his middle finger at Kovac.
An officer asked whether the police had “small handcuffs” for the child, while another officer warned his colleagues not to touch J.T.’s hands because of possible “gun residue” from the shooting.
The boy then revealed where the gun had come from.
“I stole that from my mom,” J.T. said while gesturing toward the firearm.
He subsequently threatened the officers again.
“If you want a piece of me, come get it on, b—h. I don’t care if you call backup. I don’t care if I go to jail, b—h,” he told an officer as Kovac attempted to calm him down.
“We know you know that language — and you know that’s not appropriate. Mrs. Kovac’s not happy with that,” Kovac said.
Kovac later testified that the boy punched her in the face during the confrontation, causing her glasses to fly off.
According to court documents, J.T. had taken the firearm from his mother’s purse on the morning of the shooting. He reportedly climbed onto a dresser, took the gun, placed it inside his backpack and brought it to school.
Later that afternoon, during a reading class, J.T. pulled the gun from a jacket pocket and fired one shot at Zwerner from approximately 10 feet away. The bullet struck her hand and chest.
The three-minute bodycam footage was introduced during the trial of former Richneck assistant principal Ebony Parker. She faced multiple felony child neglect charges connected to events that occurred before the shooting.
However, the charges against Parker were dismissed days later before the defense presented its case.
Zwerner, who survived the shooting, later received a $10 million award following a civil trial against Parker that concluded in November 2025.
J.T.’s mother, Deja Nicole Taylor, was sentenced to prison for child neglect and also served time in federal prison in connection with the firearm used in the shooting, including a case involving false information on a background-check form when she purchased the gun.
Taylor was released from prison in February.
J.T., who is now around 9 or 10 years old, is reportedly living in Newport News under the custody of his great-grandfather.
