I found it odd that they posted this story about the convicted pair's past. It doesn't excuse their actions.
True and those are hardly mitigating circumstances. Brought up by their grandparents? SFW?

Nice swift justice. I hope something is done about the guy's kids so they don't follow in his footsteps.
KwaZulu-Natal - Families of the men sentenced to life for the rape and murder of an Austrian nun, Sister Stefani (Gertrud) Tiefenbacher, have applauded the judgment.
Judge Nompumelelo Radebe sentenced Michael Mondli Shozi, 26, and Sbongiseni Phungula, 25, to two life terms plus 18 years in the Pietermaritzburg High Court on Friday.
Phungula’s sister, Simangele Phungula, 32, who works on a chrome mine in Limpopo, welcomed the sentence.
“I feel so embarrassed by his actions. He must suffer the consequences. Raping and killing an elderly person of a highest standard in society shows he has no morals and should pay for his sin.
“Had it happened to a family member I would wish him nothing but death. I feared that if he gets a lighter sentence he could do the same to my daughters,” she said.
