Lonica Ramjettan is battling to come to terms with her husband's death. Kidesh Ramjettan was shot outside the petrol station he owned, in Rossburgh, in August.

Last month, police arrested three men for the crime. 

And last week, one of them, Ayanda Shezi, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison.

In his plea, Shezi said he was hired to kill Ramjettan - confirming the family's long-held suspicion that his murder was, in fact, a hit.

Ramjettan's brother, Anesh Balraj, attended court but - he says - Ramjettan's wife, Lonica, could not.

"My brother's wife can't handle this. She cries every day. I think the son, Kian, reminds her of him every day. It's too emotional for them. It's actually emotional for the whole family," he said.
