Forensic psychologist Dr Gerard Labuschagne is doubtful that convicted killer police officer Nomia Rosemary Ndlovu will be rehabilitated by her time in prison.

Serial killers in SA and around the globe are nothing new, but the Ndlovu case caught the attention of the SA public — possibly because female serial killers in SA are far less common.

That Ndlovu was a woman and having been a police officer, made her case stand out. She also killed family members, which, according to Labuschagne, is not common among most serial killers. Unlike most serial killers, Ndlovu hired people to do her dirty work for her, but she was ultimately charged with six counts of murder and sentenced to a total of 275 years’ imprisonment.

Criminologist Nirmala Gopal agrees that the Ndlovu case was unusual, partly due to her odd behaviour. “One thing that stood out for me was that Rosemary behaved quite bizarrely in court. And the question here is whether there is some kind of mental incapacity, or is she seeking attention and trying to divert from the actual crime itself?” Gopal said.

What's the point then of going to prison... she's only going to be living off the taxpayers ...reinstate the death penalty

Nobody cares about her rehabilitation, she must serve her sentence, she is a criminal!

Then I guess the death penalty is in order…

I agree she will not be rehabilated with long time prison they damage her brain

Then clearly her time in prison is not enough!

Yho!

What then? Taken to the back of the shed? What else CAN be done?
