Double life sentences were handed down to Jacob Esel, who raped, strangled, cut and killed a 47-year-old woman and attempted to rape another elderly family member in Barkly West.

"Esel received life sentence for murder, life sentence for rape, 12 years for attempted rape and five years for the violation of a corpse. The sentences will run concurrently," said police spokesperson Capt Sergio Kock.

The sentence was passed by the Northern Cape High Court on Thursday from charges emanating from 2018. "Esel committed hideous crimes as he attempted to rape an elderly family member and subsequently proceeded to rape and kill a 47-year-old woman and cut her open numerous times on various areas on her lower body in an attempt to destroy any DNA evidence that might implicate him," said Kock."The victim suffered 44 wounds on her body but her death was a result of strangulation at her home in Barkly West," said the police.

The deputy provincial commissioner for crime detection in the Northern Cape, Maj-Gen Koliswa Otola, applauded the police officers involved in the case. "It is with pride that we see our members working tirelessly and relentlessly to remove criminals from our streets," said Otola.

Load-shedding would be history if SA had signed Russian deal, says Jacob ZumaFormer president says the R1-trillion agreement would have prevented SA’s current energy crisis But of course ..... it would have enriched him and his friends AND spared his life. Can he spell a Tr rands ? So now Jacob has the magical ability to get nuclear power stations operational in record time too? He and his band of merry idiots couldn’t deliver Kusile & Medupi in twice the time it should’ve taken, but nuclear would’ve been done by now?

WATCH | Jacob Zuma won't rule out revenge as motive in Duduzane court case'I'm not a legal person, but listening to the arguments being presented, it's clear there is no evidence that has been given that he [Duduzane] was reckless.' Of course he is not a legal expert but just a plain simple illiterate and a criminal/SA Number One Criminal If he was not reckless how come he hit a car before him with such impact ? pierredevos The problem will always emanate from those that were in charge of the scene just after the Incident. The loopholes would be right there and his legal representation will capitalize right on that
