A couple who were part of a gang of five who brutally murdered an elderly Bluff resident in his home have been sentenced to life imprisonment.
“I cannot imagine a case more serious or more vile in nature,” Durban regional court magistrate Garth Davis said, in sentencing mom of three Nasiphi Gwegwe, 25, and her boyfriend Tim Nyaka, 29.
They had been convicted of murdering 74-year-old Mitch Black in his Tara Road home in March 2024 and robbing him, taking his car, cellphones and his wallet containing his bank cards.
Black’s family raised the alarm when his car was found abandoned. They called a locksmith.
Black’s body was found lying in a pool of blood. He had been stabbed 83 times, his throat slit and skull crushed.
When his car was recovered, inside was a USB memory stick containing graphic, naked photographs of Gwegwe.
