Four sentenced for murder in Kranskop

On Thursday Madadeni High Court convicted and sentenced four accused for murder that they committed at Mambulu area, Kranskop in 2013. Nkosiyazi Msomi, 35, Maponyane Nzama, 38, and Bukhosi Mngoma, 23, were each sentenced to life imprisonment for murder.

Bongumusa Ngubane who was 53 at the time was shot at his home in Mambulu area in October 2013 and was rushed to hospital with multiple gunshot wounds where he was certified dead on arrival.

A case of murder was opened at Kranskop police station and it was transferred to the Provincial Task Team for investigation. Four people were arrested and taken to court for trial where it was discovered that the fourth accused could not be implicated to the case since she was threatened and forced into the crime.

Accused were tried for months until their conviction and sentencing. We are thrilled that the investigating officer sent a well prepared docket to court which led to a successful prosecution of the accused.
