Man slapped with 25 years each for Normandien murders
A 33-year-old man has been sentenced after admitting to killing an elderly Normandien couple, Glen and Vida Rafferty.
Sizwe Zwane pleaded guilty in the Pietermaritzburg High Court yesterday.
The Raffertys were ambushed and killed on their farm as they returned home from an outing in nearby Newcastle last August.
KZN police spokesperson Jay Naicker says Zwane was arrested two-and-a-half weeks ago.

"He was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment on one count of robbery and received 25 years each for both counts of murder. He will serve these sentences concurrently.
Naicker says Zwane was the third person arrested for the murders, his two co-accused who were arrested on the 15th of October last year, remain in custody as their trial is still pending.
Naicker says there's a possibility of more arrests.
