Judgment due for alleged Usindiso arsonist Sithembiso Mdlalose
The State further alleges that the fire spread rapidly through the building, resulting in the deaths of 76 people.
Mdlalose faces 76 counts of murder and 12 counts of attempted murder arising from the fire that engulfed the Usindiso Building in Johannesburg in August 2023.
According to the State, Mdlalose then purchased petrol, returned to the building, doused the victim with it and set him alight in an attempt to conceal evidence of the assault.
