Wife to serve 25 years for murdering her husband

On Monday Suretha Brits also pleaded guilty to a count of robbery with aggravating circumstances.

Suretha Brits was accused of being the mastermind and allegedly offered R400 000 for the orchestration of the murder on her husband, the owner of the Pofadder Hotel. The deceased, who was the Hotel owner in Pofadder, was stabbed to death on 7 October 2020 in Pofadder. Suretha was sentenced to life imprisonment in the Circuit High Court in Upington in the Northern Cape.
Suretha further received a 15-year jail term for robbery with aggravating circumstances.
 
The NPA’s Mojalefa Senokoatsane says: “The NPA is happy with the plea agreement sentence that the High Court has given to Suretha Brits, considering the charges that she was facing, that of murder as well as robbery with aggravating circumstances. We are just waiting for the 22nd of November for the trial of her two co-accused to commence after the prosecutions, led by Advocate Hlute who requested a separation of trial.”
