Benoni court sentences grandson who killed his grandmother – LNN

The Benoni District Court recently sentenced Siyabonga Nkosi (27) of Etwatwa to life imprisonment for the murder of his grandmother Nunu Mbela after hearing rumors that she was practicing witchcraft.

Nkosi and his two friends, Thulani Zulu (23) and Bongani Mnisi (25), were sentenced to life imprisonment.

According to Etwatwa police spokesperson Sergeant Barbara Ndaba, the three men met near Nkosi’s home and conspired to kill Mbela.

Nkosi decided to use the firearm he had.

After killing Mbela, they buried him in a shallow grave inside his bedroom.

“After the murder, Nkosi went to Etwatwa Police Station to file a false missing person report. A month later, the three of them took Mbela’s Sassa card and withdrew his money,” says Ndaba.

Nkosi’s sister made a grisly discovery in her grandmother’s room in October 2019 and reported it to the police.

Detective Koos Skosana thoroughly investigated the incident, which led to the arrest of the three friends.
