Three men who killed police Constable Delvin Vincent in April 2015 were sentenced to life in jail by the Ramsgate High  Court last Friday.

The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI) has welcomed the sentence.

Constable Delvin Vincent,who was stationed at Margate, was shot by three suspects while he was on his way home from a friend’s house. He was taken to hospital where he later died.

Three accused, Nkosiphendule Cwele (37), Douglas Hamann (43) and Msizi Ngubelanga (27) were arrested by the Hawks’ Port Shepstone Serious Organised team at various locations.

“The DPCI applauds the investigating team and the NPA for making sure that the suspects receive the harsh sentences which will sure send a strong warning to any would-be police killer that crime does not pay,” said Hawks spokesman, Captain Simphiwe Mhlongo.
