Mohamed Vahed, 43, who was found guilty of the kidnapping and murder of Miguel Louw was sentenced in the Durban High Court on Wednesday.
Phoenix man, Mohamed Ebrahim Vahed, 43, was sentenced to 34 years and six months imprisonment in the Durban High Court on Wednesday.
This is after he was convicted for the murder and kidnapping of nine-year-old, Miguel Louw, in July 2018.
National Prosecuting Authority spokeswoman, Natasha Kara, said Vahed had also been found guilty of theft and was sentenced to 25 years, eight years and 18 months for the three offences.
Vahed had occasionally stayed with Miguel and his family in Sydenham because he sometimes did odd jobs for them. Sometime prior to the boy’s disappearance, Vahed had told Miguel’s mother, Raylene that he was attracted to her. She turned down his advances, and he became angry and warned that he would “show her”.
