Durban cyclists death: Sentencing postponed for September
Updated | By Puseletso Petersen, Jarryd Subroyen
The sentencing of a motorist who crashed into a group of cyclists on the M4 in Durban North last year has been postponed until next month in the Durban Magistrate's Court.
Omesh Ramnarain was convicted on two counts of culpable homicide and drunken driving earlier this year.
He crashed his car into the cyclists - killing Jarred Dwyer and Richard da Silva.
Ramnarain's lawyer, Devin Moodley requested time for his client to hand over his business and finalise personal issues before he begins his sentence.
Sentencing has been moved to September 15.

Da Silva's wife, Sonja spoke to Newswatch outside the court.
"We feel quite at peace with proceedings. We are at that place where we feel we want to move on from all this. He is getting a sentence - that is enough for us," she says.
