Man slapped with two life sentences for in-laws brutal murder
It was heard that the attack stemmed from an estrangement between Ndlovu and his wife, who had left their matrimonial home in Botswana in April 2022 after 13 years of marriage as a result of marital problems. Her return to her parents’ home angered Ndlovu.
Court heard that the previous day before the incident, Ndlovu contacted his mother-in-law, claiming he wanted to reconcile with his wife and the rest of the family.
However, he arrived in the dead of the night and committed the heinous murders before kidnapping his wife, forcing her to cross back illegally into Botswana. Fortunately, she managed to alert border police on patrol and informed them of her kidnapping and her parents’ murder. The pair fled the scene but Ndlovu was apprehended before making good his escape, while his co-accused disappeared and is still at large.
