Coligny murder: Men sentenced to 23 and 18 years in jail
6 March 2019
The two men convicted of killing Coligny teen Matlhomola Moshoeu will spend 18 and 23 years in prison.
In imposing an 18-year sentence on Pieter Doorewaard and 23-year sentence on Phillip Schutte on Wednesday, North West High Court Judge Ronnie Hendricks said the murder was not planned and not premeditated.
He said the court found the incident happened as a result of dolus eventualis.
Doorewaard and Schutte were found guilty of murder, kidnapping, intimidation, theft, and pointing a firearm in November 2018.
