17-year-old who raped and murdered elderly woman gets 18-year sentenceA 17-year-old convicted of the rape, murder and aggravated robbery of an 81-year-old woman has been sentenced to 18 years' imprisonment by the Northern Cape high court. Its a disgrace, only 18years for rape and murder. He'll only be 9yrs in prison and will be release on bail, by that time he'll be 28years old, and will again commit crime. Our judiciary is failing us. Bring back the death penalty. For this kind of crimes (rape & murder), against this kind of victim (defensless & vulnerable senior citizen) & by this kind of criminal (a thinking reasonable man), the sentence is a miscarriage of justice. NPA must appeal the sentence & seek for double life. That's nice; let them live on, funded and protected with our tax money. Lesson not learned and punishment not delivered.
