A convicted serial rapist and murderer has been sentenced to four life imprisonment terms and further lengthy jail sentences on a number of charges in the Queenstown Regional Court, the South African Police Service in the Eastern Cape said.
The cases were investigated “without luck and were closed as undetected after three years of unsuccessful investigation in 2015,” Tonjeni said. “The suspect committed these heinous crimes while he was on parole for three offences of theft, housebreaking, and murder, found guilty and sentenced in 2002 to 18 years in prison. He was released on parole in 2010, but his sentence had since been reinstated since he violated his parole conditions.”
