GAUTENG. – Serial killer Rassie Nkuna and former police officer Jacob Chego have each been sentenced to four consecutive life sentences for their role in the murder of Sabeiliwe Mogashoa and her husband, Lucky, in March 2022.
Brigadier Athlenda Mathe, national police spokesperson, said the two stood trial jointly on twelve counts, including conspiracy to commit murder, murder, kidnapping, fraud and other serious charges. Investigation found that Nkuna and Chego worked together to lure the Mogashoa couple before murdering them for their vehicle. The couple was murdered in the presence of their eight-year-old son and one-year-old daughter at the time. Sabeiliwe was six months pregnant. Chego, a former police officer, was convicted as an accomplice in the murders.
Nkuna is already serving life sentences for the murders of his then-girlfriend Pretty Mazibuko and her sister, Marcia Mazibuko, in Mpumalanga. He is expected to stand trial next year in connection with the murder of Hilary Gardee.
