Man found guilty of killing young Pongola boy
A 25-year-old man accused of killing a four-year-old Pongola boy a year-and a-half ago - has today been found guilty of his murder.
Nhlanhla Sibongiseni Magagula was arrested after little Lungisani Ntuli's dismembered body was found in a church in the - Ncotshane area in early July last year.
Initially the church's pastor was arrested in connection with the boy's murder - but was released due to insufficient evidence.
Magagula also kidnapped and tried to kill a five-year-old boy in the same area.
Here's the NPA's Natasha Ramkisson-Kara says the man has been found guilty.
"The 25-year-old accused was convicted of two counts of kidnapping, one count of attempted murder and one count of murder in the Pongola Regional Court today.
"The matter was adjourned for sentencing tomorrow at the same court," she said.
