On Monday the Mtunzini High Court convicted and sentenced a former police officer, Eudora Nozizwe Khumalo (42) and her co accused Bhekizenzo Mge Ntshangase (25) to life imprisonment for murder as well 15 years imprisonment for attempted murder and 10 years imprisonment on two counts of kidnapping.
The Acting Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Mkhwanazi praised detectives who investigated the matter which led to all of the accused being sentenced for their crimes even though a body was never recovered.
“This is sterling work by our detectives and indicates very clearly that we do not condone vigilantism even when one of our own is a perpetrator. It is very disappointing to find a police officer breaking the law. Our police officers are trained to uphold the law and they have to work within the framework of legal prescripts. We expect our police officers to always comply with the laws of the country and if they don’t, they will receive the same treatment as every other criminal,” he said.
