Death sentence awaits two herd boys

After three years of waiting for justice to take its course, the Vorster family, who lost their mother Reinnete Vorster in a gruesome 2014 Gantsi murder, is nearer to finding closure. On the other hand, fate got darker for two farm hands who abducted, robbed and killed Vorster. Judge Abednego Tafa yesterday ruled that there were no extenuating circumstances, which may have fuelled the two men to commit the offences. Mmegi correspondent, TUMELO MOUWANE reports on a high stakes case, which has all the ingredients of sending the accused to the gallows.
