Today in the High Court in Mthatha in the Eastern Cape, a man was sentenced to two life terms for killing an elderly woman and her granddaughter in Butterworth.

The police’s Jackson Manatha said the 33-year-old received two life sentences and another ten years for house breaking.

In February 2009 70-year-old Ntombomzi Gubevu and her 12-year-old granddaughter Nonelwa Gubevu was found hacked to death.

Manatha said during the investigation it was revealed that the two was murdered because they were witnesses to another case in which the suspect and another man were suspected of rape.
