The Gauteng High Court has on Friday 5, November, sentenced Rosemary Ndlovu, a former police officer to six life imprisonment for the murder of her family and five of her family members making up for the six counts. She allegedly murdered them just so she could claim insurance payout from policies she had taken out for them.

Judge Ramarumo Monama sentenced Ndlovu to life in prison for each of the six murder counts. 

Ndlovu was sentenced to an additional five years for defeating the ends of justice and 10 years on each of the four counts of fraud. 

She was also sentenced to 10 years imprisonment for each count of incitement to commit murder and 10 years for the attempted murder of her mother. 

In October, Rosemary Ndlovu was convicted of the murder of her cousin Madala Witness Homu, nephews Brilliant Mashego and Mayeni Mashaba, sister Audrey Ndlovu, niece Zanele Motha and boyfriend Maurice Mabasa.
