The Pietermaritzburg High Court has sentenced cousins to life for murder.
Two cousins have been sentenced to life imprisonment by the Pietermaritzburg High Court for the murder of Nduduzo Ndlovu, who was killed in a case of mistaken identity in the Himeville area in February 2023.
According to National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson in KwaZulu-Natal, Natasha Ramkisson-Kara, cousins Mthokozisi Ngwane, 34, and Sanele Mqondisi Ngwane,37, travelled to Himeville to search for an individual they intended to kill.
However, in a case of mistaken identity, they fatally shot Ndlovu instead.
Following the shooting, the pair fled the scene. However, witnesses managed to record the registration number of the vehicle they were travelling in and provided the information to the police, leading to the arrest of the cousins.
