DURBAN: A 32-year-old man, arrested in connection with a cash-in-transit (CIT) heist and double murder in 2019, has been sentenced.
Sandile Gumede was sentenced to life imprisonment for the CIT heist, and for the murder of Warrant Officer Sifundo Musa and Lieutenant Colonel Carl van der Vyver.
Hawks spokesperson in KwaZulu-Natal Captain Simphiwe Mhlongo said Warrant Officer Musa from the Special Task Force and Lieutenant Colonel Carl van der Vyver from Crime Intelligence were fatally shot, in a shootout with heavily-armed CIT robbers in Nongoma, in February, two years ago.
