Four convicted murderers get life for KZN murders
The Pietermaritzburg High Court has handed life terms to four convicted murderers for two murders and a rape in the Esikhaleni area in 2015.
In January 2015, the suspects robbed and killed a shop owner. In the second incident, the men then approached a couple sitting in a vehicle where a 35-year-old man was shot dead. His girlfriend was kidnapped and raped.
They fled the scene with money and a cellphone.
