South African man sentenced to double life imprisonment for k#lling his girlfriend and her sister

A 37-year-old South African man, Hlabirwa Rassie Nkune, has been sentenced to two life imprisonment for k#lling his girlfriend and her sister.

His girlfriend, identified as Pretty Mazibuko and her police sergeant sister Marcia, were sh%t d£ad by the convict on May 15, 2022 in Kanyamazane, outside Mbombela.

The 37-year-old pleaded guilty to the m¥rders on Tuesday, May 16 and was sentenced by the Mpumalanga High Court on Thursday, May 18.

According to News24, Nkune sh%t Pretty multiple times before turning the g¥n on her sister.

He went on the run, but was arrested at his hideout in Springs on August 11, for the m¥rder of another woman in Mpumalanga. He is expected to stand trial next year for that m¥rder.

During his arrest, he allegedly confessed to Gardee’s m¥rder and was charged with two counts of m¥rder and two counts of attempted m¥rder.

The state, however, withdrew the attempted m¥rder charges.

Handing out the sentence, Judge Takalani Ratshibvumo, said that Nkuna failed to give the court genuine reasons for the m¥rders in his plea statement.
