Pongola child killer jailed for life
The Pongola Regional Court has sentenced Nhlanhla Sibongiseni Magagula to life in prison for the murder of a four-year-old boy.
The 25-year-old man was yesterday found guilty on one charge of murder, two of kidnapping and one of attempted murder.
Magagula was arrested after the dismembered body of Lungisani Ntuli was found in a church in the Ncotshane area in July last year.
He also kidnapped and tried to kill a five-year-old boy in the same area.
Here's the NPA's Natasha Ramkisson-Kara with more on the sentence.
''He has just been found guilty and sentenced to life for the charge of murder. Five years each for the two charges of kidnapping as well as ten years for the attempted murder charge,'' he said.
