Three Free State men have been handed life sentences for stabbing a business owner as he slept then stole his money, clothes and tuckshop stock.
“A constructor who was renovating the victim's house arrived the following morning and found that the house was broken into and alerted the police.
“The victim was declared dead at the scene. The case was assigned to Detective Sergeant Thethejane Legegeru and he tasked reliable informers to help trace the suspects. “On October 19, police received information and managed to apprehend three suspects around Mokwena section. A murder weapon with blood stains, victim's shoes and hat were found,” Makhele said.
Setlhako, Ndlovu and Molosiwa went on trial and were found guilty of murder, house breaking with intent to rob, and robbery with aggravating circumstances. They were each handed a life sentence for murder and a further 15 years for house breaking with intent to rob and robbery with aggravating circumstances.
