Australian convicted of attempted murder in Cape Town

bomb at the home of Hannah Rhind’s parents in the upmarket suburb of Clifton.
Police say Ghumman, a London-based accountant, met Rhind in Britain in 2009 and became friends with the South African, before she accused him of stalking her. Ghumman was later convicted of harassment in a British court.
The Times newspaper said besides petrol-bombing the Rhind family’s house, Ghumman also posed as a journalist and asked a Cape Town newspaper editor to put him in touch with local gangsters for a story he was working on.
The editor of the West Cape News said he had received an e-mail asking for help finding “someone who has absolutely no compunction about behaving with appalling violence”, The Times said.
The editor put Ghumman in touch with a man named Alfred Yalezo, whom Ghumman offered to pay US$1 300 to murder Rhind’s father, The Times said. Yalezo instead told the Rhind family, who informed the police. — AFP.
