The two men convicted of killing German flight instructor Ralph Kohnke have been sentenced to an effective 20 years in prison by the High Court.
Da Costa Dumingu Zuzee, 44, and Wasuka Nunda, 40, were sentenced to 20 years imprisonment for murder, 15 years for robbery with aggravating circumstances and five years for defeating or obstructing the course of justice.

Da Costa and Nunda were found guilty in August last year of murder with direct intent.
The killing took place on December 26, 2005.
