A plea bargain in the Goldin-Bloom murder case

Two men have been found guilty on several charges following the murders of fashion designer Richard Bloom and actor Brett Goldin in Cape Town last month. The two were convicted on charges of robbery, kidnapping and possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition. Western Cape community safety MEC Leonard Ramatlakane said in an interview that Norshad Davids and Jayde Wyngaardt would each serve 12 years in prison. The convictions follow a plea bargain. The bodies of Goldin and Bloom were found on the 17th of April. They had been shot in the back of the head.
