Several suspects standing trial for the murder and attempted murder of two police officers were handed hefty sentences by the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg.
The Hawks, in a statement on Tuesday, said Wintson Sibiya, Mchazeleni Gwabaza, Nkululeko Mkhwane, Sonnyboy Mkhwane, Siyabonga Dlwathi, Mxolisi Mazibuko and Sthembiso Khumalo were sentenced to life imprisonment on Friday.
They were also sentenced to an additional 70 years for attempted murder, unlawful possession of prohibited firearms, unlawful possession of unlicenced firearms and ammunition as well as robbery with aggravating circumstances, said spokesperson Colonel Katlego Mogale.
In 2015, the seven were caught in the act during a robbery in Jeppestown, Johannesburg.
