MOTHER IN COURT FOR MURDER OF HER SON
Shayhieda Dollie (49) of Gelvandale, Gqeberha, appeared before the New Brighton Magistrate Court today, facing charges of murder and conspiracy to murder her 22-year-old son, Moegamat Thaafir Dollie.The alleged premeditated murder occurred on 28 October 2024. Dollie, an unemployed woman, had been experiencing problems with her son, who struggled with drug addiction and was considered a nuisance at home. Seeking advice, she allegedly consulted with various people who suggested a “permanent solution”. The accused then allegedly orchestrated a plan with two individuals, known as “Shaun” and “Oompie,” hiring hitmen from Johannesburg for an initial R80,000, later increased to R380,000 due to her procrastination.
The plan unfolded when Dollie told her son he had a job interview, and the perpetrators picked him up, ultimately leading to his murder. The motive was allegedly to claim R2 million in life insurance which would be used to pay the hitmen. The state opposes bail on the matter, which has been postponed to 15 November 2024 for profile verification purposes.
