Durban - Six cold-blooded killers showed no remorse at the Durban High Court on Friday when two were sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of a 15-year-old teenager from uMlazi.
His body was found near a stormwater drain close to his home in C Section, uMlazi, and his head was found at a school in F Section.It was alleged that the teenagers had planned to murder Phiwayinkosi because they believed he had “sold out” Ntshangase’s brother, who was killed by a mob earlier that year.
State advocate Krishen Shah argued that the men had shown no remorse for the sheer brutality and viciousness of the attack on the deceased. Handing down the sentences, Judge Mokgere Masipa said communities were living in constant fear because of criminals wielding firearms and other dangerous weapons during the commission of heinous crimes. She said that permanently removing the two main offenders from the community was the only solution.Masipa also said other four suspects could still be rehabilitated through attending prison classes.
