GAUTENG. – The convicted serial killer Rassie Hlabirwa Nkuna and the former police officer Jacob Mothibe Chego appear in the Pretoria High Court today (2 September) for sentencing. They have been found guilty of the murder of Lucky and Sabeilewe Mogashoa.

Brig. Athlenda Mathe, national police spokesperson, says the couple was murdered in March 2022 near the Etwatwa off-ramp alongside the N12 in Ekurhuleni while their two young children were present. Sabeilewe was heavily pregnant at the time of her death. The family of Sabeilewe has given permission for an emotional voice note from her daughter to be shared. The child was only one year old when her parents were murdered. In the voice note the little girl tells how much she misses her parents, while her grandmother explains to her that the police have worked tirelessly to find the "bad man" who took her parents away.

Nkuna is already serving two life sentences for the murders of his former girlfriend, Pretty Mazibuko, and her sister, Marcia Mazibuko, in Mpumalanga. He is expected to appear in court next year on the murder charge of Hilary Gardee.
