Brutal Assault Before Singh’s Killing | Johannesburg News
Description
A chilling courtroom testimony reveals how Ferrel Govender allegedly brutalized his girlfriend, Salona Ramrutton/Kisten, with punches, kicks, and gunfire—accusing her of infidelity and even naming Shailen Singh as the alleged betrayer. The witness, a close friend, described Ramrutton/Kisten’s bruises, Govender’s violent outbursts, and chilling text messages where Govender admitted to smacking her for “having a big mouth.” The assault escalated at Govender’s home, with Ramrutton/Kisten pleading for mercy as Govender raged, demanding his belongings back. The witness, wracked with guilt, had encouraged their reconciliation. This harrowing account comes just days before Govender allegedly shot and killed businessman Shailen Singh—linking the two tragedies in a case that’s still unfolding.
