The thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding a vigilante murder during May 2014 in Mfuleni led to sentences of 25 years each handed down to Gladys Tsotetsi (48) and Sindiso Mgudlwa (33) in the Blue Downs Regional court.
On 10 May 2014 at approximately 04:12 police attended to a scene where the community assaulted a male person, who later succumbed in hospital.
The victim was suspected of robbery and caught by the community members, who decided to take the law into their own hands.
The investigating officer, Constable Timothy Harris pursued every possible lead and worked tirelessly to apprehend the suspects and to present a solid case to court to ensure their conviction.
We welcome the sentences handed down in this case and trust that it will serve as a deterred to stop vigilante related crimes in our communities
