Life in prison for three hijackers who killed KZN man
The Mtunzini High Court has sentenced three men to life behind bars for the murder of Nduduzo Ntuli.
The 31-year-old was shot and killed while parking his minibus taxi at his home in Maphumulo in June 2020.
The men were attempting to hijack him and he was shot while trying to fight them off.
When Ntuli's father heard the gunshots, he went out of the house and managed to catch one of the suspects.
KZN police spokesperson Thenjiswa Ngcobo says the other two were nabbed two days later in the same area.
