Second man sentenced for Hammarsdale massacre
Another man has been sentenced in connection with the Hammarsdale massacre earlier this year.
25-year-old Thabani Shange was sentenced to 30 years imprisonment for six counts of murder and one of attempted murder yesterday.
Shange was one of five people who shot and killed six family members at their home in January.
One person was critically hurt.
The police's Nqobile Gwala says officers are still searching for three more suspects:
"This sentence will bring closure to the family, who lost their loved ones in such a brutal manner. The sentence will also serve as a warning to other criminals that you cannot evade the long arm of the law," she said.
In March, a 24 year old man was also sentenced to 30 years after pleading guilty to his role in the massacre.
