Former policeman handed six life terms for KZN murders
A former cop's been jailed for life, after going on a shooting spree and killing six people in KZN, in 2014.
Police spokesperson, Thulani Zwane says Lungani Mgaga was a constable based in Gauteng at the time of the incident.
"In the eZakheni area, four occupants in a Mercedes Benz on its way to Joburg came under attack. One person was killed and four were injured. An hour later, five people were shot and killed while at a car wash and one was wounded," Zwane said.
An accomplice, Themba Mvelase, was sentenced last year and is already serving a life sentence.
