A man found guilty of the rape and murder of a British lodge owner in Thabazimbi, Limpopo, was handed an effective two life sentences in the Polokwane High Court on Thursday.
Marietie Louw-CarstensThe judge slapped Andrea Imbayarwo with two life sentences for raping and killing Christine Robinson.
He subsequently went on the run for six years until he was arrested in Crosby, Johannesburg, on 30 July 2020.The lifeless body of Robinson, 59, was found in her bedroom, a knife still stuck in her neck on 30 July 2014. "There is an outcry by South African society that something must be done about these kinds of crime."She found that the personal circumstances of the accused were not extraordinary or compelling."The sentence of imprisonment will not impact on the welfare of his two kids . The accused is a healthy man and does not suffer any condition," Naude-Odendaal said.
In a statement, the organisation's spokesperson, Ian Cameron, said:"We are pleased with this. Nothing less than a life sentence would serve as sufficient punishment for Ndlovu and, thus, we totally welcome the double life sentences.
