Two men were on Friday each sentenced to three life terms plus an additional 43 years in prison by the Mpumalanga high court for, among other crimes, the murder of a police officer and her husband two years ago.

Thulani Maisane, 33 and Martin Mohlala, 27, left a bloody and destructive trail, resulting in convictions on three counts of murder, two counts of robbery with aggravated circumstances, charges of pointing of a firearm and discharging of a firearm in a public area, and two counts of possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition.

In one incident, the pair arrived near Thulani Primary School where the victims were preparing for a wedding. They pointed firearms at the patrons, fired shots into the ceiling of the tavern and ordered them to lie on the ground before making off with cash, airtime vouchers and cigarettes. This time they ditched the car at the tavern.
