The Pretoria High Court has dismissed applications to appeal by three Zimbabweans convicted and sentenced for the murder of former world heavyweight boxing champion Corrie Sanders.
Judge Ferdi Preller said the circumstances in the case against Paida Fish, Chris Moyo and Samuel Mabena, all in their 20s, did not warrant a further hearing on appeal.
All three applied for leave to appeal against their convictions, claiming the court should have accepted their evidence that they were elsewhere that night and had nothing to do with the robbery.
Moyo and Mabena also wanted to appeal against their sentences of 30 years effective imprisonment.
