Sons of former Alfred Duma mayor await sentencing for 3 murders
A high court trial in Pietermaritzburg revealed how an overnight stay ended in gunfire, leaving three people dead and four men facing lengthy jail terms.
Two sons of former Alfred Duma mayor Vincent Madlala, together with two co-accused, are expected to be sentenced in December after being found guilty of murdering three people, reports Northern Natal News.
Sandile Madlala, Sabelo Madlala, Lethukuthula Khumalo and Thabiso Nkosi were convicted by the Pietermaritzburg High Court in connection with the 2020 murders of Mxolisi Dladla, Nompumelelo Thwala and Nhlanhla Fortune Zulu.
Dladla, Thwala and Zulu were shot dead while travelling back after allegedly spending the night with the accused.
Arrested during 2021 police raid
In 2021, during a raid by the police’s PKTT Unit at the Madlala home in Ezakheni E-Section, Vincent Madlala was arrested for attempting to obstruct the arrest of his sons.
Out on bail
The accused in the triple murder case remain out on bail after the court extended their bail.
They are expected to return to the Pietermaritzburg High Court on December 3, when the court is scheduled to hand down sentencing.
